[QUOTE="oldfortyfiveauto, post: 1240421, member: 30352"] After getting a bore scope and spending time shooting prairie dogs I've learned a few things. As a practical matter most of use do too much cleaning. Prior to the scope I typically cleaned every 35-50 shots on a dog shoot. Now, depending on the barrel I'll go 75 or more. Better barrels tend to foul less. Savage barrels typically look like crap compared to about anyone else's, but amazingly will usually shoot well and will always show blue on a patch no matter what (I've joked for years that the chatter marks on the rifling reduced friction and increased velocity :D). I've acquired a huge selection of cleaners, but have generally settled in on using Wipeout or Montana Extreme Copper Killer, but in reality I can't prove it really matters what you use. Typically I run 5-10 wet patches through followed by a dry one or two and call it good. When I have time I'll let it sit wet for a few minutes. I rarely see anything to speak of with the bore scope after a dog shoot doing this and no accuracy issues. Best I can say is that you should get hold of a bore scope and do some experimenting. It's enlightening. [/QUOTE]
