[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2692751, member: 116563"] AFTER THE BARREL IS BROKEN IN AND SPED UP, how many shots (fouling shots) do you normally have to shoot to reach peak accuracy again after scrubbing the barrel clean? Removing just carbon if you prefer, or carbon and copper. I've been really curious about this, because I clean my barrels OFTEN. I've never seen much accuracy gain after maybe the third shot. Seems like 2 foulers and then they just start stacking in there at the proven group size again. But I've honestly never even shot more than maybe 30-40 rounds through a barrel before scrubbing it again. So I don't have any long term shot string data. So if you had a gun that shot consistent .5 MOA throughout say 100 shots. And you scrub that barrel clean, how many shots until it's sub .5 MOA again? My vote is 0-5 shots. [/QUOTE]
