Read where Anschutz, for many of their target 22’s recommend cleaning your barrel every 3,000 to 10,000 rounds.

My take,
Clean the barrel If you want to.
If your rifle is maintaining accuracy don’t bother.
But, do keep the action clean and lubricated.

With over 30 years of competitive shooting, in my experience, bronze brushes cause NO barrel wear. The vast majority of Bench rest shooters use them and they are the most effective barrel cleaner.

However, if one chooses not to use them and your present method of cleaning your barrel works for you, then that’s fine. But, don’t imply that bronze brushes hurt rifle barrels with no evidence.

My nylon brush does just as well, and yields no wear on muzzle or rifling. In fact, none of my barrels get bronze brushes anymore.
