[QUOTE="hidesert, post: 1231418, member: 97550"] Most years I'd take it to the range annually, sight it in with perhaps 20 rounds, clean it and go hunting. My cleaning wasn't very thorough and about 15 years ago I noticed quite a build up of copper. I then used a "Foul Out", the electric rod, which got out the copper. Given the low number of rounds I figured my bore was rough so I used the "FinalFinish" system of firelapping but only using five rounds of each grit instead of ten. Lately I've been cleaning it after every trip to the range using the practices Ryan Cleckner teaches. My bore cleaner is Shooter's Choice and once in a while some Sweet's. [/QUOTE]
