I shoot 'em. Clean when dirty. Most all guns will shoot more accurately when 100-200 rounds have been through the tube. They seem to end up the same if cleaned once after the 200 rounds have been fired, or after every 2-3 shots. Some guns are more accurate than others, but If a gun and barrel is accurate, it will be just as accurate either way.
