    I have always used a boresnake after and before a hunt or shooting.
    I will only clean properly when the rifle needs it. For some that's a lot of rounds down before a proper cleaning for others that's very few. Depends on how bad the rifle fouls.
    Really have to ask yourself what the full clean is hoping to achieve?
    For me it's when accuracy might be affected by either carbon or copper fouling.

    Potential corrosion is handled by the boresnake which provides a light coating of oil and takes out the chunky bits of residue that might be present.

    Edit: Also if your boresnake is filthy, wash it!
