Barrel Cleaning…data

[prm]

Just saw this video by Hornady. Definitely interesting from a cleaning and barrel life perspective. Especially since it is supported by so much data. Really enjoy them sharing some insight they gain with their volume of data.
The barrel life data really makes me appreciate the cartridges I happen to use.

Great podcast

I clean my rifles regularly. Something I enjoy doing anyways.

Thanks for bringing this one up. I may change my approach.

Good data that tracks with some of my rifles. My 6.5-284 is always cleaned before I get to 150 rounds. After that I have definitely seen pressure spikes because I run it right up there close to max.

I'll have to check it out, interested to see what they find. I'm doing a well controlled test in my lastest competition barrel to see for myself.

Ok, after listening to all 3 cleaning podcast my position on cleaning has changed. They changed my mind and present a reasonable approach.

I still need to watch the first two.
