[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1838152, member: 2736"] 👍 I hear this all the time, Wait to clean when it starts shooting bad. I do what you recommend at the beginning of barrel life cycle. I break the barrel in, work up a accurate load for hunting/shooting, once the load has been found I test the accurate number of rounds it can shoot before I see a decline in accuracy. This tells me how often I have to clean. Normally it is less than 10 rounds. The reason I like this method is because the rifle is always shooting it's best even if I'm not. I have confidence that if I spend a lot of time and trouble getting to the point of making a shot, it will perform at it's best and a good Point of impact is achieved. (Every Time). I don't want to go to all the trouble of planing and executing a good hunt, only to have a fouled barrel to spoil the hunt with a poor hit or a miss. Why wait for poor accuracy to show up?
