Everyone has their own beliefs on this one. Mine is kinda extensive, but I have had great results. Bores foul very little. Accuracy is a argument, but I have had good results with all my rifles. I use the heaviest and cheapest bullet for caliber I can get. Use a good quality one piece coated rod. I use 50/50 Kroil and GM Top Engine cleaner for powder, JB and Sweets for copper. Rem Oil for gun oil. I use solvent on both ends every pass. JB just to half way out muzzle then back to chamber.
20 rounds = 1 Shot, Powder Solvent w/Bronze brush 10 passes, JB Bore Paste on three different patches wrapped around nylon brush, Wet Patches, Bronze W/Solvent 5 passes, Finish up with Sweets on patches and Nylon until no color shows. Wet solvent patches and leave bore Md. oiled
30 rounds = 3 Shots then repeat above. May require a second 10 pass and more sweets but not multiple JB's.
I then fire a few rounds and see how easily it cleans with only solvent and Sweets. If I am doing a lot of scrubbing with sweets then I do another 10-20 single shots. I never go past 100 rounds as I have not seen the bore get any more polished or reduce fouling.
It takes time, but on a $1400 investment what is a little time.
