Lubricating The Inside Of The Barrel
 

Does it affect the bullets velocity?

Hi,

Yes it does.

After a few good "fouling shots", bore will stabilize back to normal though.

This is quite obvious when watching bullet placement on the target.

I thought so!!! If you are at your range shooting, how often or number of rounds should you clean your barrel.. What do you suggest?

Too much oil can bulge a barrel.
This is more a smaller barrel like a .22 and a heavier oil such as for longer term storage.

Before shooting I run a very light oil down the barrel (oiled patch), then a dry patch to remove excess.

Good Idea tks

Hi,

Two shots should do it nicely to remove accumulated, light, oil.

I always wait until I have concluded my day at the range before I begin the clean-up process.

If your pistol is becoming fouled by simple firing, you may wish to change the burning rate of your powder.
