[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1818025, member: 313"] IME - it takes more than one round to settle a barrel after a good bore cleaning. I typically shoot 3 rounds with ammo made for barrel fouling, using leftover bullets and powder that I'm not using for anything else. With that said - I do not clean between groups when testing loads. I think it is better to test with a fouled bore and fouling seems to remain consistent for quite a few rounds. Many shooters don't find a need to clean their bores for 40-50-60 rounds or even more. Just my 2 cents and that's probably what it's worth. Good luck 👍 [/QUOTE]
