So I can't decide if its time to clean my .375 H&H (Vanguard DGR) or not. Groups of 3 and 5 shots have opened up into the 1.5" to 2.0" range from the earlier groups .75" to 1.5" range. Had a look down the barrel with my super high tech bore imaging technology; aka the angled flashlight and saw a little bit of "colour". What do you say time to clean or not?

Diet since the last cleaning
-118 rounds of Federal Blue box factory (270 and 300 grains)
-98? rounds of barnes hand loads (235, 300, 350 TSX and 270 LRX)
8 rounds Woodleigh hand loads (300 grain Hydro solid)

Just in case dear reader you are taking me literally, the rifle is now nice and clean after 5 or 6 rounds of wipe out.
