[QUOTE="Taylorbok, post: 2255575, member: 118538"] Barrel looks clean enough, there is still some carbon and a tiny bit of copper but you kind of need that IMO. I've found after a really deep clean like that POI shifts, velocity wanders and potentially loss of accuracy, for at least the first 5 shots. Before you head out for the hunt I'd take it to the range and send at least 5 fouling shots down the bore and then confirm POI, if it's moved I'd send 5 more and then re zero. I've been having really good luck following advice from "Mark and Sam after work" Every range session. 20-50 rounds I run a wet patch let soak for a bout a minute and then patch it out with about 5 dry patches. I use G96. It doesn't get the barrel overly clean but seems to hold POI and maintain accuracy. [/QUOTE]
