Apples & OrangesSo master class competitiors cleaning their 22 rimfire rifles after each 40 or 60 shot match are doing it too much?
Correction... Apples & Brussel Sprouts
Rimfire aside, I would bet that < 1% of shooters use plain lead bullets
The vast majority of modern jacketed/coated ammunition is immaculately clean compared to rimfire
I would be willing to bet that a majority of shooters do more harm than good by “over cleaning”
Or at the very least improperly cleaning
