	How frequently (after how many rounds) do you clean a rifle in the small .32 Schuetzen chamberings? Any special techniques or materials, like solvents? Paul

	At the very minimum the end of each shooting session or if I see the accuracy starting to fall off during a match. I use JB and homebrewed solvent after cleaning. My 32-40 needs to be cleaned after two 10 shot targets and sighters or it will fall off. My 28-35SS will go quite a bit longer without having to worry about it starting to fall off but I typically clean it the same as the 32-40.

	I wrap a 2 1/4 patch around a .30 cal brush and Ed's Red usually I clean at the end of the day. 40 Rod

	Jubilado Clean has different meanings between shooters. As an example, like 40_Rod, I clean at the end of a shooting day. However, when shooting my bench rest 32-40, I wipe after about 25 shots. By wipe I mean a partial cleaning to maintain best accuracy from the barrel. To ensure you don't put an undue amount of wear on the throat, I recommend the use of a bore guide for your cleaning rod. Hope that helps

	Thanks for the replies, gents. Has anybody tried Montana Xtreme Cowboy blend? I got a bottle as a door prize. Supposed to be formulated for lead and powder fouling. Pretty strong odor. One thing for sure, I'd rather avoid lead fouling than clean it out of a barrel. Not always easy to do. Paul

	Paul that cowboy blend is good stuff. I use it to clean up when a match is over. Really pulls the carbon and other junk out. I've also taken to using their Accuracy oil in the bore after I get home and put the rifle's back in the safe.

	A patch wetted with B12 or Seafoam does a great job of removing carbon deposits. Use a dry patch after; those fumes will ignite if fired while the barrel is wet
