This experiment challenges the necessity of deep cleaning precision rifle barrels, suggesting it may not improve accuracy and could even be detrimental if not followed by a fouling shot.

Mild cleaning showed no significant change, while deep cleaning resulted in slightly wider groups, potentially due to heat and lack of fouling.
