Exactly...could it be that this is a somewhat insignificant point. I have heard, all my life, keep your guns clean.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Bore cleaning
I just do what works for me and dont worry about what others have said or done. I dont scour my bores but if I have shot lead cast I like to make sure there isnt any leading. I also check for excessive copper if I have been shooting alot of jacketed.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I've noticed that when a bore is too clean or too dirty, accuracy suffers. Fouled in between delivers best results.

Re: Bore cleaning
Here's the science about that. Several in depth videos of what's going on in the bore, starting around Part 37.

Re: Bore cleaning
Most of my shooting these days consist of mostly lead, and for the most part is all PC'd.
I still have some lubed bullets that I haven't used up as of yet.
Now when I do swap I confess to using a little Hoppe's, to make sure there isn't any leading.
But other than the 44, the other pistol cal. rifles Only see lead.
I bought the 41 new and it hasn't had a single jacketed bullet down it since it left the factory.
Now the 308 MX and the 2 06's have never seen a cast boolit.

Re: Bore cleaning
I only use Ballistol! When I get a new gun the first thing I do is spray ONLY the bore down with Brake Clean and then run several patches thru to remove any oils or dirt. Then a run thru with soaked Ballistol patches and then dry patch.
It might be several shooting sessions of use before I check the barrel and run a quick clean with Ballistol thru the bore.

The video series has very good key points. But they are unnecessarily wordy, repetitive and wander.

Re: Bore cleaning
Thanks for the links, but don't want to allocate that much time to research bore cleaning. As often as I shoot my guns, they will out live me.

Best to skim through the videos quickly to the places where he makes his bulletized points and pick up the narrative for few seconds and then move on. I lost patience with the repetition and slowness of getting to the point(s).
