[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1088775, member: 85712"] Well, Not literally but.... Let me explain. I have about 700 rounds through a custom with a Bartlien M24 contour 1-9 twist 5R. When I clean it I struggle to shoot under MOA at 100 yds. After I shoot 20-30 rounds through it it will shoot well under half inch and in some cases I have shot just over .25 inch groups at 100 yds I use Bore Tech carbon remover so I can leave some copper in the barrel but no matter how little I clean or what I use my groups get huge after that. So until it starts puking copper to the end of my barrel or my groups open up again I am not going to clean it. I knew a guy that said he would not clean his guns (barrels) until his groups started to opened up again bc we are the one that do over 90% of the damage to our barrels from accidents while cleaning and improper cleaning..... He is one of the best shooters I know/seen. Does anyone have an explanation on why this is? I have seen it in rifles with several thousands rounds through them but nothing under a 1k. Thanks [/QUOTE]
