[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 954988, member: 3099"] Depends on what you are trying to do. A long range bolt gun is alot different than a 1911 for example. Every barrel is different too. If you are using jacketed bullets some barrels like just a bit of fouling. And most people don't get it all out when cleaning anyway. Are you tuning a hunting load for a bolt gun? If so you want to find a combination that gives you the best cold bore accuracy since each shot is a cold bore shot (unless you miss your 1st shot). That means meticulous cleaning. If you are shooting strings in highpower competition your cleaning regimen will be different. It's just going to take some experimentation to find what your barrel is going to require. Keep it clean and get a good load worked up. Then your barrel will tell you what it wants. There's a bunch of variables on finding the ultimate accuracy from any individual gun, and finding them out is half the fun. [/QUOTE]
