[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1212880, member: 2736"] I agree in part, but all barrels will rust (Stainless or Chrome moly) after cleaning, I run a lightly oiled patch through the bore to protect it until the next time I get ready to shoot it. I always dry patch, but you cant get all of the oil out of the bore. Only firing will remove any oil, solvent or preservative completely Hence the reason for a fouling shot on some barrels. Other barrels don't seem to need this first shot, but I want to know if it is necessary on any of my rifles. Most long range shooters/hunters want to stay within 1/2moa as far as the rifle will shoot . and any good custom barrel will normally do this. As far as the number of shots before the rifle goes completely bad, Most good barrels will shoot there best for the first 5 to 7 shots, then they will settle in and remain on target with good accuracy for as many as you want to shoot. Some matches are as many shots as possible in 50 Seconds and the average shooter could get 35 to 40 shots in 50 seconds. the rifles get very hot and even start smelling . The accuracy stilled remained well under 1 MOA even though it was no longer as accurate and it was for the first 8 to 10 shots. Basically, it is a personal decision and each person gets to decide what they want and how important it is. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
