While what you post is very well possible and I do not doubt you. I have only 9 rifles. I clean every 30 to 50 rounds now. 2 of these rifles are F Class and FTR Class. In matches I go with a very clean barrel. I find it takes me usually 3 of my 5 fouler shots for my rifles to settle in. 30 rounds seems like a lot.

I think the amount of shots it takes for barrels to settle in is in direct relation to the quality of the barrel you have.

My rifles start to head south after about 100 rounds to 150 rounds.
