    I'm with you Steve. The military is only just learning that an over zealous cleaning regime does more damage than a unclean barrel will ever do.

    I ensure all working parts are free of dirt and lubed where required etc.
    Barrel sees a rod once every 100-150 rounds and it is a light regime of carbon removal.
    I use HBN on my projectiles for my centrefires. This may help a lot but I never see much copper and only have carbon buildup.
    Having good aftermarket barrels help as well I spose.
