Regretfully, I have no ammo loaded for that rifle, or today I could report how many shots it takes until the barrel gets fouled back in, and starts behaving.
No ammo? SHAME ON YOU !!!!!  My Creedmoor usually only takes 5-6 before it settles back down. But I know they're all different animals. And I also agree about the bore snake. Useless for properly cleaning a barrel. After the first pass you're just dragging dirt back through the bore.

I only use 800 thread count silk squares that are dipped in organic collared dove tears to clean my rifles.

But, but I've got ammo loaded for the .308 and the 7mm-08, so I carried the .308 gas gun with me today. Sure hope I see a sounder of hogs at sunset.
