120 Posts. #10 · Dec 31, 2012.

If you clean, which I advocate, CLEAN IT THOROUGHLY, don’t do the job half heartedly.

Barrel life and opinions on 17hmr???? – The Optics Talk Forums

Though it’s faster than other rimfire rounds, it’s still pretty low pressure and fairly slow compared to a lot of centerfire cartridges. .17 HMR does require a bit more frequent cleaning than other rimfires because it fires copper jacketed bullets that will leave fouling in the bore, but it doesn’t require …
