people tend to overclean their barrels.
For accuracy, do not over do it. Most fanaticism bout cleaning barrels is because people used to shoot black powder and that deposits corrosive salts, those must be cleaned out religously each time.
With good smokeless and copper jackets.. good barrels don't need all that much cleaning.
I'de run a wet(ballistol) bore snake through a couple of times post shoot, and leave it.
to much cleaning upsets the barrel to much and then it takes a while to settle back with shooting.
beginning of a season I would get hoppes copper remover and run it through slowly and that then is a clean barrel
I'de shoot 100 rounds a week, 2 weekends a month average, and maybe do a full clean twice a year, tops.
That is for bolt action rifle, regular 30 cal, not talking zippers, i never shot thoses
But 3006 or 308, loaded to the speed of heat, to get max accurate velocity and fight the wind past 600
AR : make sure the action is very wet with FP10
AR15 is a dirty action, and it needs field strip and soak for all the carbon
Gotta keep the bolt carrier and bolt clean , soak lube , every time ..
barrel , bore snake again.. its really mostly the action that needs work on the AR..(if you shoot decent ammo, no rooskie crapola)
1911 pistol .. ballistol bore snake and FP10 for the slide
getting back in guns, had a sabatical since 2017, am oogling a new Dan Wesson, gonna order soon
Got some cocobolo grips laying here from my previous, will be happy to be styling at the range again :P
