Simple answer is yes. I'd say in fact that's pretty normal. It's the 'cleaning interval' that's open to interpretation.What I am asking is, to keep it plainly simple is,
has anyone had a gun that shoots very well when clean, and when you go beyond your normal cleaning interval, it gets very bad ?
Not looking to open up a big discussion on cleaning, etc. I suppose i may be able to answer this myself next time i shoot the same load that shot good in the past, but in the mean time , I thought I would ask.
Thank you
100y isn't a determination of long range accuracy. I clean my barrel about 500-600rds. Until then it'll shoot 1/2min at 400-500y.
Define 'dirty".
What caliber, what loads, what barrel, how many shots from last cleaning, how many shots total?
Plain and Simple! Are you kidding. I'll bet this thread goes 10 pages of cleaning methods, chemicals and intervals. So allow me to pile on. Many people will disagree with me but I've found cleaning down to bare sparkling shiny metal costs me to many bullets. I will agree that layering carbon on carbon is a bad thing. But taking that very last layer of carbon is not. I can live with a few fouling shots but not a lot. Those Bergers aint cheap. I clean right after every match while the barrel is still relatively warm. I don't get real aggressive, just chemicals and a bronze brush. When the patches come out relatively clean that's it. I borescope at home and JB the carbon ring if needed. I know guys that shoot 500 before cleaning but mine shoots like crap at half that and who wants to clean after 500 shoots.

Seems to work with all your barrels....That might work for some calibers but not all calibers.
