[QUOTE="Whitesheep, post: 1393186, member: 26409"] Great conversation on a never ending topic. It would appear from the comments here, which my experience validates, that each firearm does best with a different cleaning regimen. For my main bolt gun (Nosler 48 .280AI) I generally clean to the "white" with both powder and copper solvents at the end of each shooting session. These sessions usually are for a box of 50 hand loads during a silhouette session. I don't need any fouling shots and any opening up I attribute to barrel heating, not a dirty bore. However, a friends .243 T/C Venture likes a copper lined bore and if all copper is removed it takes 20 rounds to get accuracy back. My perspective is to learn what works with each firearm and stick to that. I may not be the same for everything in your collection. [/QUOTE]
