Huben barrel cleaning?

[Tonycalves]

Took my Huben to the range yesterday and was disappointed.  All my groups opened up considerably. My thought is a fowled barrel.  I have to have over 1000 rounds through it.. Gonna clean it today and check over the weekend.

I was impressed at how the velocity didn't drop much going from 24.8 NSA .218 which shoot very well to the MP 34gr 5.52. Didn't try the 5.55s.
Big thanks to Mike D for the test slugs!

Huben owners at what point do you clean your barrel? Do you clean your barrel?

Looking forward to more testing.

I have not cleaned mine yet, but I don't have near the rounds through it you do.  Plus, if I remember correctly, I think it started in my paperwork that Kelly had cleaned the barrel before it shipped.  I may be thinking of another rifle, but I don't know who else I would have purchased from who would have gone to that much trouble for a customer!
