I have a ruger NM single six that I’m in love with. I’ve tested some various ammo through it for accuracy, but not much, and always sorta informally.
Now I am wanting to get serious about my testing and I want some ideas as to the best way to prepare the barrel and cylinder between ammo.
I’ve seen various suggestions on the rimfire forum. Some people suggest a thorough cleaning and then shoot as many as a box before I test for groups.
Some suggest just testing for groups with no cleaning and just a couple fouling shots between types of ammo. Two extremes.
I’ve got several partial boxes of ammo that I acquired from a friend. I’d like to test these too, to get an idea, and if they show promise maybe I’ll get more. But I don’t have enough to shoot half a box then test on some of it. Or if I do, it’ll only be 1 group.
Anyways, I’d like to strike a happy medium between amount of cleaning between brands and that’s what I’m asking here. What do y’all do?
