[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2589415, member: 313"] I start every outing with a squeaky clean bore. However, I never clean at the range or in-between groups regardless of bullets used. Today I was testing some 147 ELD-M bullets in my PRC. I shot 5 groups of 4 rounds, 20 shots total. Then I threw in 3 rounds of 124H bullets with a new load of RE23 @ 3,203-SD 4. They grouped at just over 2" at 417yds. So while it's nice to start with a clean bore, it sure isn't necessary based on my experience. Now maybe the 124H bullets could have grouped even tighter but I'm satisfied with how they shot after the regular cup & core bullets were fired. BTW - I only using a 4.5-15 power scope so my ability to shoot better is really limited by my ability to adequately see the target. It looks like the clean routine worked well for you and your rifle. Stick with what works and go huntin'. [/QUOTE]
