Possible to go overboard on cleaning?

It only gets weird if you sleep with it and get a bit of wood happening.

Ok, so I'm a weirdo. I've been called worse

But Brett we have seen what you have..... we all would sleep with them!

I give mine only a light clean to remove some powder residue, etc. I only scrub copper when accuracy starts dropping noticeably. This is working on the 'copper equilibrium' theory for first shot POI consistency.

Might be bollocks but it works alright for me.

Also, I might just be lucky but both my 223 and 7-08 barrels show very little copper even after 100-200 rounds between solvent scrubs.
