That's just more "fun" than I want to have.

My Knight is a pain to clean, but fortunately with BH, I don't have to very often. Actually, I think I could get by with once a season as long as I keep the flash channel clear. Next time I go to the range with it, I'm going to shoot the pooey out of it and see just how long it will go.

I discharge at the end of each day if I don't kill something
and hunt with a clean barrel the next day
im ocd on the routine
takes me about about 2-3 hours at the range to shoot 5-7 rounds
check target,smoke breaks, wiss breaks,take some pics, ect ect ect
about 10-15 minutes actually to clean between shots

I don't mind cleaning
just want the same repeatable conditions shot to shot
just what I do

I might fire 30-35 ml rounds a year
most of them are discharge rounds at the end of the day
have to shoot a doe on ft Campbell to get your earn a buck tag
and I might shoot 1 buck during ml in tn or 2 (2 buck tn limit)

so im looking at 4 shots at deer and possibly a followup on a downed animal which hasn't been needed using barnes 195,s yet

I was really anal about having a fouling shot dry cleaned barrel
with my tc renegade 50 back in the day also
hunted with that gun for almost 17 years before I made the change to inline

fords and chevys
blondes and brunettes

whatever works for ya......
