Nope - been a competitive shooter for over 20 years and had some .. ummm ... ah ... "other" training. Plus after treating with the Spica Gold (commercial name is Plate+), on a 300 Win-Mag tests show negligable throat wear after 300 rounds (normally the half to 2/3 barrel life) and in a .45 the velocity increase was average 30FPS. I used to clean after every match (300-450 rounds) Now I just need to wipe down and clean once a season (almost 2500 rounds).Originally Posted by MrFurious
