I'm in the "don't clean your rifle until accuracy degrades" camp.
I have a 6.5 Creedmoor I'd like to shoot the TTSX out of for deer this fall. I use the ELDX for black bear and would prefer to continue doing so. I've heard people say you should clean thoroughly before switching to non-lead ammo in a rifle because fouling is accelerated or something.
Given that the ELDX has a copper jacket this seems like it may be a bit of a myth to me. Has anyone switched without cleaning and actually seen accuracy degrade?
