[QUOTE="HTSmith, post: 893884, member: 23361"] I give you this as a data point not as advice. On my last two custom barrels I cleaned them good before shooting. I then shot 5 rounds (pressure testing) and cleaned again. I then went about my business as usual, cleaning after each range session--usually about 20 rounds. Both barrels shoot very well and are easy to clean. They are button rifled, varmint contour barrels from a widely known maker. Recently I shot one of them in an f class match and was unable to clean between the last two strings. Each string was 22 shots in about 20 minutes. I was dreading cleaning after 44 shots down the tube. It cleaned up with no extra effort. Again I am not recommending that you do what I did. I'm just sharing my real life experience for what its worth. It could have been just plain luck. [/QUOTE]
