I hope this is in the right place.
What are your ideas for cleaning your rifle during sight in while working up loads? I have been reading more and more that you should try to get the coppering of your barrel to an equilibrium state, where the excess is pushed out by the exiting bullet. so your bore stays as consistent as it can be. and only cleaning when ballistics are affected.
I understand this concept, however, while doing load work ups would you risk having your bore become too "dirty" and throw your group sizes off which in turn, would make the load development data flawed? I would hate to write off a good load because of the bore coppering from a previous load.
