Leave bore fouled or scrub it out and if so, how often?

Please explain how and why there is a difference between factory and custom?Factory or custom tube? Factory needs to be fouled 99% of the time, inversely a custom does not.....99% of the time. Rarely does it hurt a custom.....assuming it's in the meat of it's happy life and not on either end.
Same here.I clean my barrel only when accuracy drops off.

I would also like to see the data that supports this 99% figure on both ends. Have a hard time believing someone tested a sample of at least 100 barrels to support that.Factory or custom tube?

Factory barrels are not cut with much love at all so they will have more imperfections in the lands. The fouling is going to fill these tooling marks which will help the bullet consistently move down the barrel. The consistency is going to equate to better accuracy shot to shot.Please explain how and why there is a difference between factory and custom?
I'm just some guy on an internet form, but I have done a few things and seen a few more.I would also like to see the data that supports this 99% figure on both ends. Have a hard time believing someone tested a sample of at least 100 barrels to support that.
@Formidilosus has gone over break in and cleaning at length in other threads. I think he has a .308 that's had over 10k rounds down the tube without a patch or brush.
