I agree with cleaning too much. Some OCD types wear their barrel more with cleaning than shooting.

The good thing about DBC, fouling is greatly reduced. I shoot my treated premium barrels a bunch before cleaning. And a patch or two of Eliminator or equivalent is all that's needed. Even with rougher factory barrels, like some Rem tubes, they foul much less, don't need cleaning as often.

My guns seem to group better after they've been fired several times. So, I clean them only periodically whether they need it or not. I've not experienced a loss of accuracy due to fouling, but I don't burn as much powder as some Fire contributors.
