[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1094642, member: 10291"] For several years I do a thorough clean each shot, 10 rounds, every 3 shots for 3 cycled, every 5 shots for 2 cycles., done. I then clean every 100-200 rounds, end of season, or storage unless exposed to heavy moisture. If the rifle doesn't hold accuracy for this amount either the barrel or the rifle goes. This has been rare but when it occurs other problems like zero or accuracy changes seem to exist and the barrel is inconsistent. Ease of carbon and copper removal is almost always noticeable during the break in so I believe the process is valid with the possible exception of some custom barrels which are lapped. I double up on sight in.....and scope alignment testing if the rifle is grouping well early on. [/QUOTE]
