[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5740050, member: 3052"] Whether or not you should clean the barrel or not is an argument like the caliber wars, that will go on forever. It should be cleaned and lubed after every outing. Just use quality gun cleaner and lube. Use care not to damage the crown. Some people believe more damage is done during cleaning than from shooting. That's possible I guess, so don't be that guy. You obviously need quality ammo for hunting. But you can use cheap brass case ammo for range time. Never use steel case ammo. And never use corrosive ammunition. Most isn't Corrosive anymore, but some military surplus ammo and foreign junk ammo might be. Shoot a lot. That will help more than anything. Obviously, you don't need to use expensive hunting ammo to do that. You just need to verify with your hunting ammo you are on target with it before hunting. Most everyone loves Hoppes #9 for cleaning. It works great, but my wife gets migraines that are set off by smells, so she told me I had to take my gun cleaning out to the garage. That wasn't happening so I switched to M-Pro 7, it works great and has no smell. Any quality gun oil works fine. Since you are cleaning after every use it shouldn't really matter. WD40 is not a gun oil and has no place around guns, especially guns that may be stored for a long time. [/QUOTE]
