Showing the differences of a dirty barrel and a clean barrel and how they can affect your accuracy.

How dirty is dirty?, i have always been told that you should clean the barrel sparingly, i very rarely clean my Anschutz barrel maybe once every two years and it is a proper tack driver. My 15-22 i clean after each competition season (every 6 months) i certainly don't notice the same accuracy differences that you are showing with a clean/dirty barrel.

How are you cleaning just a bore snake or brushes?

Those eggs looked nice, why you not finish em?

Well dirty is dirty lol. Golden bullets add a bunch of gunk but the aguila leaves huge chunks of primer in the gun.

As for how dirty you want the gun its more of a function of the ammo and how it works in your gun. For instance, my remington golden bullets will shoot accuratly until the bolt gunks up to the point of failure but the grouping at 75 yards is not god and at 100 forget it.

Now my aguila Interceptor loves a clean barrel. Grouping at 75 yards is just over the size of a quarter and bulls eyes at 100 yards become possible but take that same ammo and shoot it like I did here with about 750 to 1000 rounds through the gun and you get the results seen here.

I took a bore snake through the barrel once or twice and the gun came back to life.

Im finishing the accuracy testing out of the gun with a clean barrel. This is very hard for me to do because I can dirty the barrel in no time. The next set of testing will be with a fouled barrel and I am fairly sure its going to say that the golden bullet is the best dirty shooting bullet.

As for the eggs I was more into the package of bacon we made. What you see in the video is basically the left overs. Check these videos if your a foodie.
