I don't want to start a new thread for every question, so I will put a few here then I can settle down for a bit.
1. Cleaning between 2 different rounds? When I am at the range trying different ammo out is it OK to just use a snake or should I run the whole cleaning process between brands or bullet weights?
2. I noticed when shooting 39's and 32's yesterday the both had the same POI (within reason) at 100 yards, can someone explain this to me? When will I see a difference, or is it just about energy?
3. I love this gun.
4. cleaning prior to storage, is a bore snake good enough for this situation too? I shoot daily so that would amount to a lot of cleaning..
I realize these questions are based on opinions, and I am happy with that, so I welcome all opinions. As you may have guessed this is my first run at a hot rod center fire, I just want to do this correctly and maximize the rifles potential. I hunt for a living and my rifle is almost always with me. Until the .204 I was using a .17 HMR.
Again guys, thank you.

Re: Random questions
#1-- Some guns shoot better from a squaky clean bore while others seem to like a little dirt in em. Find what yours likes best & run with that.
#2-- The 39's will outpull the 32's after 200yds. 100yds should only have around 1/2-3/4" difference unless you have the 32's running about 3-400 fps faster.
#3-- As well you should!!
#4-- I would have to defer to #1 unless your are putting it away for the winter or a period of more than 2 weeks. Then clean it good & lube it but remember that if you have a rig that shoots better dirty you'll have to foul the bore with a shot or 3 to get POI & accuracy back.
