[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1834920, member: 112246"] My 2c’s here. I Clean as per the “barrel break-in” recommendations when I buy new. Then, under normal shooting conditions (no foreign debris such as sand in the barrel) will only clean the Outside, chamber and trigger mechanisms after each shoot. If I’ve been in wet conditions or know I’ll be storing for long periods of time I’ll put an oil patch through the barrel. When I notice the accuracy is dropping off I’ll clean the bore with “wipeout “. One wet wipeout patch, one brush dipped in wipeout and on a modified carbon fibre rod. (Removed the Dewey Handel temporally) and mount on a drill. Low speed and back and forth a few times. Then two dry patches. Then a heavily soaked wipeout patch pushed through twice slowly. Then I spray wipeout foam down the barrel and in the action and close the bolt. Leave overnight. Next day do a complete cleaning and leave barrel oiled until just before firing. Two pull thru with the bore-snake and fire 5-10 warming rounds and I’m generally back to accuracy. A gun club mbr and friend of mine cleans his with wipeout after every shoot (no matter how many rds go down range) in a similar manner as me. Other then he hangs the barrel to “drip dry” the wipeout foam. His 6mmBR shoots no better or worse than my 6.5CM. (From a consistency perspective), So..... to each their own. He is terrified to try it my way and thinks I’m destroying the barrels of my rifles. Maybe I’ll remeasure the chamber and see how much the throat has grown, and fined a borescope And do a comparison of before and after. As of last week though it was still a tack driver. It really likes the 142gr SMK and the 140gr Berger elite hunter pills. [/QUOTE]
