Sorry Grin Reaver, did not see your question. I have thousands of rounds thru all my guns and shoot anywhere between 30yds to 100yds when target shooting. I just edited my response above to eat some crow...I will copy below so it shows up new."Grin_Reaver"Fungun what sort of shot counts are we talking about through your guns and what are the typical distances you shoot to.
I wash pellets and sort now, so I honestly have never cleaned any of my barrels. My bobcat .25 is lights out accurate. My Streamline is right behind the Bobcat and my Vulcan is such a tack driver….not one cleaning pad yet has touched my barrels. Just my 2 cents.
EDIT 5.15.18–You know what happens when you brag? You get to eat some crow…lol. My Streamline started getting some wider groups. Thought at first it was maybe the scope mounts had loosened up a bit….so I remounted the scope. Nope, that was not it. So I watched the AEAC video by our friend Steve about how he cleans his guns. So I ordered the “Patch Worm” from 20/20 concepts. In the mean time I researched different cleaning “solvents/oils” and decided “Ballistol” was a good choice for my application. One thing about Ballistol that I found from others on youtube, was that it works best if it is allowed to “soak” for about 5 minutes, before dry swabbing.Guess what? My Streamline is now back to shooting hole in hole just like it did before. Guess I’m a convert, cleaning when POI becomes an issue, might just be what the chef orders to go with a little crow. Big thanks to Steve of AEAC and to Tom at Tomcat airguns for their hard work putting out videos to help us all.
