[QUOTE="Patriot Reaper, post: 1626786, member: 18233"] There is some interesting research by Dan Flowers on rifle cleaning. In essence, he looked at accuracy over the number of rounds and its relationship to cleaning the carbon or cleaning the carbon and the copper from a barrel (fully cleaned). The conclusion was that it is always helpful to clean the carbon but only helpful to clean the copper after the accuracy noticeably drops off, which is dependent on the barrel. The theory being that the copper helped to fill micro pores in the metal and establish a surface prone to more accuracy. That is also the theory on why many high volume shooters notice that a certain number of rounds are needed after a full clean to re-gain the accuracy of their barrels. [/QUOTE]
