Occasional cleaning incompatible with precision reloading?

[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 2201137, member: 97649"] In various threads I see some say that they don't clean their rifles until they see accuracy drop off. I spent quite a while cleaning my 224 Valkyrie yesterday, and began to wonder if those who don't clean regularly are missing a point. One of the things precision shooters seek is absolute consistency in everything they do in the reloading process, down to a half a thousandth or half a grain of tolerance where possible. The barrel obviously has a material impact on a fired round's performance, why would it make sense to leave the barrel in an uncontrolled condition, when great effort is made to control every other parameter? Are those who don't clean regularly primarily hunters who hunt at near to mid-distances, at which precision is less important? Do any precision shooters choose not to clean regularly? I don't mean to start a controversy but I am curious about this seeming inconsistency. [/QUOTE]
