It's nice to see how everyone else does it. I shoot roo's for a second job and I have shot up to 80 odd roo's in a night (there are misses there too), and gone out the next day just to see how it shoots and I can still shoot under MOA at 100 yards.I will scrub the arse out of my barrel till I get clean patches (I will use what I got), then put an oiler through it.I think you can shoot a barrel a hell of a lot before the average person can tell any difference, and a barrel can last some people a life time. But what I am really trying to say is how can you tell if one procedure is better than another, without something to work against. The benchrest boys know thier stuff I won't encroach on them, but for the rest of us? I take as much care in reloading as I do in cleaning my rifle, and I don't think Bugs or Skippy can tell if he gets hit 1/4 to 1/2 off point of aim. Maybe I'm a bit rough, but that is what works for me.
