    I bring it up as I was doing the same, cleaning after every use but after some research and talking to different people I'm not so sure. you also run into the issue of having that first or even 2 or 3 fooling shots going astray.

    The cleaning after every use thing comes from the military but they are firing 100s to 1000s of rounds in a sitting which makes sense to clean after that. however some competition shootings say they don't clean till accuracy drops off, is there some kind of middle ground between cleaning and just maintaining?
