[QUOTE="Hard Head, post: 1393160, member: 91079"] I have always cleaned every time I come home from the range,I have always wandered what happens if there is copper and powder fouling left in there say till the next weekend ,will moisture be trapped from the cooling ,heating process. I do know that when I return from the range here in Wi. in the winter where it is often -5 out while shooting and when I bring the rifle out of the case, it might set for 60 seconds and it is saturated outside on the metal,so knowing that the inside is too,soooooooooooooooooooo it is cleaned thoroughly inside and out but not before the metal reaches room temperature,so I might as well clean the bore too,which I do I think the next time I will clean like always but dry patch till dry then a light coat of oil,then the morning I shoot will push so patches soaked with None Chlorinated Brake Cleaner down, the dry and head out , and see if the first shot prints the same place on the last target I fired on.Pete [/QUOTE]
