My target rifles that I shoot a lot get cleaned every 250 rounds for CF and every 1000 for Rimfire so they get cleaned pretty often. Center fire Gopher guns get cleaned every 1000 rounds unless the groups start to open up. I only had one 17 FB that needed to be cleaned every 500 rounds, the rest in 17 FB, 204 Ruger, 221 FB, 223, 22 H or 17 HH, seem to work fine with cleaning at 1000. I have never tried to go more than that between cleanings. The bore scope also tells me that Wipeout patchout version does a great job a getting out all the copper.

Dean, I use both the patch out and the foam. Some days I think one works better than the other but I think that’s in my head. I will say this though, the patch out stays put better. The foam is less viscous and tends to run to the low spots.
