[QUOTE="FlyGuy11, post: 1687932, member: 108987"] Two schools of thought and I'm in the middle. 1. Shoot until you reach copper equilibrium and once accuracy drops clean. To do this you must know when this begins anotherwards long test/practice sessions. 2. Clean everytime like a bench rest shooter. 3. Hybrid approach that I use: Base cleaning on type of cartridge. For example my 28 Nosler will get cleaned sooner than my 300 blackout. I base my cleaning on velocity of the round being fired. I have no science to what is better or best and neither do most professional shooters. 4. A must for cleaning is a good bore guide and a high quality 1 piece cleaning rod. Bore Tech and Dewey are the ones I use. 5. Do what gives you a warm and fuzzy. I'm using the 28 Nosler on a Bull Elk hunt so 1 round for a fouling shot and 1 round to confirm 200 yard zero then off to hunt, no cleaning. [/QUOTE]
