I have a friend that I shoot metallic competitions with regularly, both smallbore and high power.
He has been having difficulty lately with his smallbore rifle not shooting its best groups. I think it needs the bore cleaned well but he insists that ".22's shoot better dirty".
My experience over the years is "yes" and "no". Not every gun is that way. Some like to be relatively clean (with a few rounds downrange to foul the barrel) and some like to be filthy.
I can't get him out of his rut to try his gun with the bore clean. :banghead:
