Shoot it and don't go wild cleaning it.

A bore guide is a good thing to use when you do clean with a cleaning rod.

Congrats on the 5r - mine shoots great!!!

Every time I go out with friends this subject always comes up and I tell them - just shoot it and if you have to to clean it DON'T use a bore brush and scrub the crap out of the barrel - please. Or, I get the I have to shoot some fouling shots to get my barrel right - WTF, STOP IT, you don't need foulers just stop cleaning it until you start to lose lots of accuracy.
