I wouldn't clean until something made it seem like a good idea; either a falling off of accuracy or difficulty in loading. Sabot residue might be the factor here, not powder residue. Keep an eye on the flash channel though.
My son had a misfire with my Knight last year that cost him a buck. The cause was most likely contamination of the powder by cleaning solvent left in the bore. After a day in the woods, I may pull a charge and fire off a cap to clear the remnant of powder, but the properties of BH209 and the stainless construction of my rifle make, IMO, daily cleaning unnecessary.
