EIo879 - What caused you to change your thinking?
When I am doing accuracy testing I will clean between different loads, especially if switching from C&C bullets to Copper ones. This was needed more with the old Barnes X bullets but seems less critical with the TSX. I have read where target shooters will clean before changing to a different powder even with the same bullet. All of this is probably unnecessary for a hunting rifle but old habits linger on.
I still leave my bores fouled even though most of my rifle will shoot pretty close oily, or dry, dirty, or clean. The only negative I have had was when I had molly in the bore and hunted in a heavy rain with no blue tape for the barrel. Corrosion was just starting when I cleaned that rifle later in the evening.
