[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 333737, member: 4191"] Honestly, the Gun Juice treated barrels foul so little that I don't clean my hunting rifle bores very often. Not unless I get them wet inside. Cleaning isn't required due to copper or carbon fouling for a very long time with a hunting rilfe. And I personally believe cleaning for cleaning sake isn't required due to concerns of corrosion with a Gun Juice treated bore, because a protective film appears to get baked onto the bore that provides the benefit of corrosion protection from the normal elements such as rain, condensation, etc,. When I take a rifle out in a saltwater/ocean environment, I do always clean thoroughly following exposure to saltwater. So for hunting purposes, my barrels are normally already fouled from the prior shooting event or hunt. But to answer your question, after I clean Gun Juice treated bores, I simply shoot one to three times to check and confirm I'm holding zero prior to a hunt, and then go hunting. Same as when my barrel is already fouled because I stored it that way from the prior shoot/hunt. If you're asking in the sense of a competition rifle where you'll shoot 50-100 rounds a day, I'm not a good source of information since I don't shoot anywhere near that quantity or intensity.
