[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 948745, member: 4686"] Joden, 1) I'm saying "rode hard and put away wet". Once I was finished with barrel break-in, the only thing that ever goes down my barrel is either a bullet or a rod, in conjunction with THE marked up bullet used to determine throat wear. DBC works that well. I won't argue with GAP nor their reputation and their advice/technique. Though it surprises me they would advise to clean that often. Maybe, using their method, they can get tiny, smaller, groups then someone, like me, who never cleans. The purpose of not cleaning is two fold. 1) POI stays the same. A dirty barrel can and usually does have an impact different than a clean barrel. 2) Too many times, shooters do more harm to a barrel with bad cleaning techniques than not cleaning at all. 2) If done properly, you won't need 30-40 rounds to determine pressure limits. The first 10 rounds fired, in incremental increases, will show you where your "powder" limit is. Those 30-40 fired rounds will show you where your "accuracy node" is. Alan [/QUOTE]
