To clean, or, not to cleen.
Posted by al on August 31, 2012 at 11:34 amFor long range shooting, how often do you clean your bore. Do you try to remove all copper?

I hunt mainly 50 to 300 yards and I always clean out the copper. I use Pro Shot copper solvent IV which does a great job. Using it on my new barrel break in.

I run the bore brush a couple times then patch it till its clean. Oh about every 100 rounds or so .Though I know it's not enough to get it all out. I do that kind of cleaning less frequently.

I used to be the type that cleaned religiously every singe time I went to the range. After much, much reading I've been trying the “lazy man's” approach. If I'm working on load data I'll run a mop down the bore between loads. And the only reason I do that is to give each load the same starting point as far as a clear bore goes. At the end of the session all I do is use standard cleaners to get the grime out of the bore and finish with a quality oil. I don't cut the copper until the groups begin to fall off. I've done this for this entire summer and my groups have actually gotten smaller to be honest!!
