[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1688447, member: 108777"] I clean in January or when my groups open up. Foul the barrel a bit. I know when it is proper as my groups are tight and point of aim is same as point of impact. I also clean before working on new loads while collecting data on test loads. If I am going to change anything I clean first so I don't start at an unknown place. I will repeat tests later with a barrel fouled by new type powder, bullet or primer. Laptops, spreadsheets and a touch of math helps to bring all the data into an area a dummy like me can understand and make use of. I do remember that I used to do a lot of fidgeting with that [I]mangy[/I] scope that wouldn't hold zero and "[I]had[/I]" to be adjusted every time shooting until it settled down. A clean barrel and not understanding too much caused me a world of grief. Shoot safe, well and have fun [/QUOTE]
