Im curious as to how you guys do when trying different brands/weight of ammo to find out which your gun likes.

Ive got about 10 different factory loads to try and see which one my gun prefers. Ive got a day off and I will more than likely be trying all of them at the same range session.

I will be letting the barrel cool between each brands 3 shot group.
Would you suggest cleaning the barrel between groups and firing one shot then the 3 shot group, or would you not clean the barrel at all while going thru them?
