[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 821660, member: 1521"] A change to fouling, more/less/type, affects zero(initial POI). Copper buildup in the bore is bad for accuracy(unless your accuracy is based on it). Oil left in a bore has to be burned out before stable fouling sets. 2 approaches to dealing with this: Clean a bore as infrequently as possible. Clean a bore after every use, and prefoul just before another use. I was taught to put a gun away cleaner than it was pulled. With this, my guns are maintained in better than brand new condition. I hand prefoul clean dry bores before putting them away. [/QUOTE]
