Barrel fouling within 75ish shots

75 shots sound a bit low to me, but as i am always pushing the edge and so not really doing any hole on hole shooting i cant say for sure if i experience any better.
BUT ! i can say for damn sure that both in my FX and my current CZ barrel rifle i shoot a hell of a lot more shots in between cleanings,,,,,, but i am trying to clean my barrel more frequently CUZ it is not like it is a big deal to do.

I should maybe experiment a little on this some nice warm summer day at the range, CUZ i will very easy do over 1000 shots in a day, and so if it only take that little i can run several batches of shot count tests.

The biggest problem is probably will i go insane shooting a mere 50 M a whole day.

Could be that i have wasted time and ammo for a long time :unsure:
 
If wanting to pull the lead out ? .... you WANT the SNUG & SQUEAKY pull threw of a bore snake !!!!
Wiping the bore with a patchworm is near useless for the task your trying to do.
My favorite sound when I'm cleaning. The SQEAKY aounds let me know I am basically done other then a light film patch after. I run 3 patches 1/4 folded back to back in line, so 3 patches in bore at the same time. I push em with dowl rods. The Squeaks haven't lied to me yet. I can throw barrel up to light or scope & it's clean. I think alot of people also think there barrel is clean from patch indication but just dragging a loose patch isn't going do it.
 
Yeah I have a bore scope, that’s how I figured that it has a real mirror finish… I already cleaned it after shooting today for the pic, but shouldn’t be a problem to get it bad again and check :)
If a scope pic was posted I don't see it on my end.? Do you know location were the build up of lead is .? & do you know were the tight spots in barrel are.? I still don't think I'd be going further on a 1 holer at 50 but would be fun to find out were & why. It's gotta be building up in a heavily restriction/choked up area, I bet. I posted a pic of a jagged pit in my groove & also onto the lands on a newer LW barrel . Should be ok now but it would have been a mid barrel lead collector

No bore scope pic posted yet, I cleaned it yesterday so now I have to get it fouled up again :) next time it is acting up I’ll take bore pics and post!
