Shoot clean, or shoot dirty?
Hey guys, just wanted some feedback of what everyone is doing as far as what condition you keep your gun in. My personal research has taught me that shooting a fouled barrel will give you more accurate cold bore shots.
I have put nearly 200 rounds through my Hog Hunter .308 after the break in, and have not cleaned it since. I have gone out on several different days now and find that my first cold (fouled) bore shot is bulls eye @ 100 yards. After the first 10 shots or so then the groups open up a little.
I assume that as long as I do not use corrosive ammo that the barrel will be fine? Or does the fouling eventually have a negative effect on the rifling inside? Thanks in advance.
