Question: why are so many top barrel companies in Wisconsin? Packer fans?
I've moved into the don't clean camp. It hasn't failed me yet.
I'm still curious about the copper on top of cup/core fouling cleaning theory Spomer came up with. Supposedly, it's a thing. I can't confirm as I don't switch loads in a gun when it's shooting well.
I might be a lucky one, but I have not had any negative effects on several rifles when swapping back and forth from Hammer and Bergers…no cleaning between. Like I said" lucky" or no truth to having to clean between switching from one to another. Hmmmm.
True. They are all custom barrels. Maybe I should have mentioned that.Maybe you have a better grade of barrel than your "run of the mill" factory barrels! memtb
For me it includes my sanity. If I know there is a dirty gun in the safe I become a worry wort and can't sleep until I clean that rifle or rifles.I would agree with that wholeheartedly.
But, if I spend two hours cleaning a rifle once every 2+ years (500 rounds), and you spend 15 minutes every 50 rounds, how does that time work out? Plus, you have to shoot 30-50 foulers (3-5 after each cleaning) over that duration and I have to shoot 5.
Most of my rifles get shot every month or two minimum. Some get shot every week or two. Very few sit in the safe without getting shot with the exception of my 7RM and 28 Nosler (unless someone in the family has an elk tag).
