[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 663812, member: 29966"] I have some guns that shoot really well on a clean barrel, and others that just don't seem to care. After 5k rounds through my 22-250 I now let it go for 200 shots or more before I clean it and it'll still shoot .75 MOA I just clean it because I just feel like I've neglected it after that many rounds. I have a Savage that won't shoot well at all until it's had 3 or 4 "foulers" down the tube, but it'll only hold it's accuracy for a max of 20 or 30 shots before groups start to open up. I've only had two guns that seemed to not care how dirty they were and both had extremely high round counts. It seems like the more they get shot and worn out the less it mattered. When they were both new they were picky about getting cleaned every 20-30 rounds so I don't know if the barrels finally just smoothed out or what caused both these guns to care less about fouling the more rounds they had down the tube.
