[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2201141, member: 95013"] I am a fan of doing what the barrel likes. My thing is, I clean my barrels about every 200 rounds or so +/-. I clean them completely and thoroughly including the chamber and all bolt parts etc... I then foul the barrel with 1 round and then depending the area that I am going to shoot, Ill usually chorono and then true dope which is about 6-9 more rounds. I verify at 100 with chrono for 2-3 shots True at 500 for 2-3 shots True at the longest possible distance I may shoot for 2-3 shots (could be anywhere from 700 to 1200) I don't like to shoot critters past 800 - 1000 if at all possible and targets for me usually end up around 1300 - 1500. If I don't happen to shoot it that much in a couple of months, I will then start over instead of waiting for the barrel to tell me. IMO there is a point where accuracy starts to fade with a dirty barrel and only your particular barrel will when that is. That is what really matters, period dot. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
