It's possible , I too have done the surgical clean method and to be honest I've found it doesn't always help on a factory barrel (if it looks rough using a bore scope)... I would still however do a light cleaning with something that won't aggressively remove copper and just sticks to powder and carbon etc in the intervals you're using now.. Certainly won't hurt to try.
