Credit must be given where credit is due, Mule Deer. I'd read your articles, but had trouble staying away from the cleaning rod out of habit. After that pdog hunt I became a believer.
I still clean every 500 rounds or so with that .223....but don't know if it's needed even then. . My deer rifle tells me to clean after a hundred rounds or so...it picks up a little copper and groups start gradually getting larger around the 100 round count..
