I clean my rifles with Autosol and a wire brush every 200 rounds, especially in the throat area. I think many shooters are too precious when cleaning their barrels and don’t get enough carbon out or polish the throat sufficiently to help slow erosion. Jags and plastic brushes are fine for normal cleaning but don’t really get into the grooves or prevent rings forming. Barrels are made from steel, not butter. That said, I use good bore guides (Lucas), Dewey rods, and don’t overdo it.

That’s my routine, but ask ten shooters and you will get ten different answers. Even barrel manufacturers don’t agree on cleaning routines.

The barrel makers will love you!
Try the wipe out foaming bore cleaner,
You will be amazed, no scrubbing just let it do its work.
It gets every thing out.
