[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1646526, member: 108777"] Before I decided to shoot extra long range I would clean my barrels after every day of shooting, be it 1, 10, fifty or a few hundred. Now I clean my long guns once a year come January, or if accuracy falls. My pistols every 100 shots unless I cannot be accurate. My 22 mag after every shooting session, black powder is nasty horrible stuff and hates guns. I reload and use fairly clean burning powders, helps my barrels last and makes me feel better, sort of like using the best oil possible in your engines. I shot some Yugoslavian ammo a friend brought once. He wanted to know how it would shoot out of my 308. It was okay, it would be deadly at 100 yards. The powder smelled funny burnt and my barrel was crying for a cleaning. Never again. I'll let friends shoot a couple of my cartridges in their long guns, I'll anneal, resize, then all is good. As they say everybody has a method, this is mine. I am happy to read other views because I find that the more I know, the more I know how little I know. Thanks to y'all [/QUOTE]
