[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1702823, member: 10755"] I will add, on average, my comp barrels (416R) last around 2000 rounds with 3 setbacks and are in 22-250AI, 264WM, 6.5X47 & 300WM. I do not clean back to squeaky clean after every match, I clean carbon after every round, which is 120 rounds roughly. Often, my barrels have had 300 rounds down before I clean thoroughly with carbon cleaning in between this. I use Hoppes No9 for carbon and Sweets 7.62 for copper. My hunting rifles get cleaned when required, I used to clean after every session, even if only 1 shot was fired. I find this unnecessary, I do run a patch of Hoppes/dry patch through before storing away. Cut rifled/honed barrels require different cleaning procedures to factory CM hammer forged barrels or button rifled stainless barrels. Therefore, their barrel lives can be vastly different in my experience. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
