[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1184263, member: 33822"] I basically follow Jim Borden's advice, below is a link to the article he has up on his website. I use Butch's Bore Shine followed by a light coating of Kroil. Make sure to read all of these instructions/advice such as why not to over-wet the bore with oil as well as why to never leave high-ammonia cleaners in a SS barrel. Because of this I avoid CR-10. [URL="https://bordenrifles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/clean_edited_april2010.pdf"]https://bordenrifles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/clean_edited_april2010.pdf[/URL] There was a time when I was cleaning every 5 rounds (when my barrel was new), mostly because I did not trust that the bore was clean and I wanted to eliminate a dirty bore as a source for inaccurate shots. I quickly learned that my barrel would shoot 1/4 MOA past 20 shots. I have never tried to figure out the point where I lose accuracy. It's a hunting rifle, and my goal is to characterize performance on a cold bore that has been fouled with 1-2 rounds. Any time I shoot the rifle I always finish by cleaning the bore and then shooting a fouling round, so that the next time I get out to shoot my first cold-bore shot is the same whether I am hunting or shooting at targets.
