[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1625609, member: 78762"] I use bullet coatings so my regimen is different. My 338 lapua has 500 rounds on it without cleaning with hex boron coated bullets. Shot a 1/2” minute group at 1000 yesterday. My old 6.5 had over 1000 rounds and still holding 1/2” minute when I sold it. Hex coated as well. I went thru several hours of cleaning after each range trip, now it’s a boresnake, then a hex slurry is applied and I’m done. I’m much happier now that I don’t scrub my barrels for hours. One thing I’ve noticed, barrels don’t stay accurate longer, they don’t last longer, it just cost me more time and money for the greatest copper solvent ever made. Benchrest may scrub to bare metal, but hunting and steel out to a mile with a 1/2” minute gun, I don’t notice where my groups are improved by bare metal barrels, it’s a completely waste of time and money for me.
