[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 1538659, member: 95013"] Cleaning down to steel is the only way to ensure barrel integrity, completely. Any left fouling, copper, dirt, excess anything can have a long term affect. If you are planning on shooting 100 rounds today, and another 100 tomorrow, there may be no need to clean at all, although many shooters clean after the leave the range as a point of fact no matter how many round have been shot or how long between sessions. Clean to bare metal and ensure you have a consistent barrel. If you are not planning to shoot again soon, condition your barrel and then, clean to bare metal before you go the range next time. Then easy, when you go back to the range the next time, your first round is a fouler. You then have a warm dirty barrel similar to the one you shot last time and zero should be similar, if all other conditions are the same. There is quite a bit of data to support, the most accurate ladders and DOPE start with a clean barrel... You have a fine piece of equipment, that has been built to exact specifications down to the thou or even 10th of thou. Take care of it. [/QUOTE]
