I sometimes wonder if I’m cleaning too much, so just for conversation let’s say aggressive cleaning did result in some lost round count and I’m not talking about brushes attached to drill motors or lapping beyond cleaning paste, just solutions and bronze or nylon brushes with many stokes and plenty of soak time.
How many rounds are we losing and of what quality are these rounds towards the end of the competition barrels life ? I think having 1200 or 2000 really good rounds is better than 500 extra subpar rounds out of the same barrel. At the end of the day barrels are consumable components are they not ?
