    Cleaning Frequency / Technique

    What is this "cleaning" you speak of? Na I just shoot it till I feel like cleaning it or I notice a drop in accuracy. Which usually involves pulling a bore snake through it and shooting it a bit more.

    Sierra 77gr SMK: cannelure vs. no cannelure

    I run 77smk with a cannelure because I found them easier to find as well. I did think about the effect on accuracy as well but I don't think it is that big an issue after its been pushed into the riffling and forced out the other end. They seem just as accurate as none cannelure projectiles.
