Since this is the only Savage I own, I am curious to know what the experts think. Do your Savage barrels shoot better clean or dirty? I seem to have the best accuracy after about 5 shots on a clean barrel, but then accuracy seems to degrade after about 20-25 shots. Am I cleaning too much or too little? I typically run a brush and a jag patch through after each session of about 30-50 rounds. Should I be cleaning the copper out more? This barrel does seem a little rougher than the Kreigers and Bartleins that I have.

This gun is a .338LM. I am shooting 300 Berger Hybrids over 92 grains of Retumbo @ 2760 FPS.

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Thanks in advance.
