Even if you shoot a lot and don't like cleaning. Just shoot it.

I had a 300win that wouldn't shoot clean. It would take 10-15 round for it to build up enough copper for it to shoot sub .500". It would continue to shoot that way for 300+ rounds before I would worry about cleaning it. Then it would take another 10-15 rounds for it to settle down again. The groups never opened up after that many rounds, I just always chickened out and figured out it "should be cleaned", after that many rounds.

Let your barrel tell you what it wants. Sounds like yours it saying that it likes to be dirty.

If it ain't broke..... don't fix it 'till it is.
