This is the new “hand the enemy your weapons” approach..... it is truly forward thinking
If you have a really good barrel, my experience is you only need to shoot 4 to 5 to re-foul the barrel.Yea, I probably would have cleaned it too.
What Todd Hodnett (look up his credentials) meant in his course was that after you clean a long range rifle you have to shoot a few rounds (close to 20?) through it to "re-coat" (my term, not his) the bore, which will get it shooting back to it's original accuracy. He says *do* clean it when it starts dropping in accuracy, but that can be between 1,000 to 1,500 rounds.
where is the sign up sheet, and waiver ?
With that kind of performance and ammo to feed it, why would you want to mess with it?I had a .22-250 that was like that. If I cleaned it then shot it again, the groups were 1.5-2 inches at 100 yards. After about 5-10 rounds they would settle back down to about 1/2 inch.
I decided to re-barrel that rifle but before that needed to shoot about 3000-4000 rounds through it to get rid of the ammunition.
I was still hitting 1-2 MOA targets easily at 600-650 yards when the last rounds went through it.
When I got the barrel back from the gunsmith I ran a bore scope through it. The first two inches of rifling was gone. Yet I was still able to hit 1-2 MOA steel targets at 600-650 yards.
BTW, to use up the ammo I shot about 300-400 rounds everyday for several days.
Please explain your disdain for Hodnett.Not even going to address that here, since this is the MVP thread and not the rifle or maintenance section or thread. You’re just going to eventually find out that that is just some more overstated Hodnett Hogwash. Start a thread if you think it bears serious discussion.![]()

I found a K98 actioned sporter in a pawn shop in .270 w/ a 4x Weaver scope for cheap. It looked like it had been through a couple of ugly divorces and thrown down a driveway and into the bed of the truck a few times. Even the 24" barrel had dings on the outside and all the blue worn off. The inside didn't look much better and was filthy.
I figure I would re-barrel it in 30-06 but before I wanted to see how it shot. I ran a patch with some Hoppes down it and grabbed a box of Fed. Supreme. The thing put all five first shots in a ragged hole at 100M.
I took it home and scrubbed the bore with Sweets and ran patches out until they were clean. The thing is a 1/2" gun with over the counter ammo and has slayed many deer and hogs. I'm now a .270 shooter.
Uh-oh....*insert gay joke here...*I got it re-barreled in 6.5 CM and couldn't be happier.
Uh-oh....*insert gay joke here...*
Where's the first shot flyer? After all, your first shot was through a cold suppressor.
Move that dime for us!!!
It’s Mondaaaaaaaay!
I see no differenceI was thinking of this when cleaning my neglected 6.5. Bore Tech is the shit though.

Gotta admit, that's good shooting I don't care who you are. Just think how much better it would be if you dropped the Creed and shot 6 gay tiger. Those groups would be corn holing each other.
Maybe crybaby LeBron can take a lesson from men who know what real pain is. This is not to lessen the severity, suffering, and sacrifice of others who have only received one purple heart. I know that I wouldn't want one. This is to contrast the spoiled sports star's supposed suffering to what real suffering is.

Are you kidding me, he'd be curled up behind a tree crying his eyes out. I bet next year, he doesn't play more than 3 games in a row and then he'll bench himself for at least 1 game.
I know an elderly black gentleman that has one eye that looks a different direction, he told me he could watch the snake and look for something to hit it with...
And rightfully so.Master Sergeant (I think)
Has murder in his eyes.
While sad, I’d bet the lawyer was worth every penny.You're making me cry. I had one once. I was the 2nd owner. I had the box and papers from the CMP that it came in. Had to sell it to pay for a divorce lawyer.
Congratulations on such a wonderful instrument and symbol of freedom.

Good job Brother. It always puzzled me that no matter how good a stop we made anything more than a room and contents especially if it needed vertical ventilation it would get torn down. It may be different now with the cost of lumber.Not my house.
No loss of life. Not sure if they will rebuild it or tear it down. But we got a pretty good stop on it, and the neighbors houses were fine.
