[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 102171, member: 2259"] I agree totally. I have heard this same line from my father and some of his friends. More barrels have been screwed up by cleaning than by shooting. I have years where I shoot over 15 thousand rounds and most of my rifles get cleaned when then start loosing accuracy most of the time 500 -600 rounds. I have some barrels that have well over 12,000 rounds through and are still shooting 1/2 groups. I think barrel cleaning is a waste of ammo too. I have a Ruger M77 22-250 varmit that have seen close to 15,000 rounds and is still shooting 3/8 of an inch with a throat that vanished years ago. If I clean that gun it takes at least 25 rounds to fill the spider cracks with copper so it will shoot again! [/QUOTE]
