If you are going to get accurate results from ammo tests, you can't just swap ammo and keep shooting. You need to start with a clean barrel and then, before you switch ammo, you need to clean the barrel with two or three passes with solvent and a BoreSnake or traditional cleaning rod and patches. Then you need to put 10 rounds downrange to acclimate the barrel to the new ammo.

If you don't do this, you are wasting both your time and the ammo.
