Catweazle Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Some people run in full-bore rifles by cleaning the barrel every few shots, gradually extending the cleaning intervals as the barrel "seasons". So they might shoot one, clean it, etc for the first 10 shots, then shoot five, clean it, for the next 50 shots and so on. I'm not sure it's that important for a HMR.
