[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2846833, member: 75451"] I use the same philosophy pertaining to rifle bores as to washing my wife’s vehicle. I explained to her that a nice layer of dirt protects the paint from small rocks and sand blasting from other vehicles! 🙀 Bore fouling should help protect the bore….well, shouldn’t it! 🤔 😉 😂 On a more serious note, quite painful for me…… different rifles are affected differently by fouling! I have some, generally small-bore rifles, that must be fouled by several shots to achieve best groups…..often significantly better groups. The larger bore .…..30’s and up seem to be less affected. Though, I still foul them with a shot or two prior to attempting qualitative group ascertainment! While on this topic, I’m going to do load development for a rifle this summer…. I guess that I’ll give it a good cleaning before starting load work. It’s been quite some time since it’s last cleaning, it can’t hurt it any…..can it? 😉 Maybe this could be another thread…. Can we clean our barrels too much, too often? 🤔😂 memtb [/QUOTE]
