scorpius Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I have a .17 HMR, can I seek some advice on how often I should clean the barrel, I use a "bore snake" I have been told approx. every 500 rounds, advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Take the bore snake and thread it through your boots, it's better for your rifle as a boot lace. Get a decent cleaning rod and propper brush and patches some cleaning fluid, of your choice, they are all the best on the market if its in your cleaning kit. A bore guide too. Clean as it starts to loose accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecash Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 cleaning is a 5 minute job after every shoot - look after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 as both of the above,the .17 is a very dirty round,do it right from the off and you wont have any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
