For the first 10 shots, I make sure to clean the barrel after each one. Then, for the next ten to 20rds, I’ll clean every 2 or 3 shots. After that, I stretch it out a bit maybe every 5-10 shots until I hit around 50rds. I always use a copper solvent and a bore guide to help me out, and I let the barrel chill for a bit between sessions. It's really not just about scrubbing away the grime, it's about keeping things consistent and showing a bit of love to my gear.
