    Personally, i feel it depends how bad your barrel fouls. My 6 creed comp barrel has seen just shy of 500 rounds without a full clean. I just patch it with clean patches till no powder residue is coming out on patches. It gets shot pretty often. Ill clean when groups start opening up and if load needs a tweak ill do that. Full clean for my would be boretech copper remover and a nylon brush. For my low round count hunting barrels i just clean patch them out or a bore snake if in the field.

    My process will be completely wrong though, ask the internet, but it works for me and i see no need for change
