I recently bought a BA barrel although not the Hanson profile in .223 Wylde. I clean every time I go to the range if I have time. I have tried waiting several hundred rounds and honestly can't tell a difference in accuracy. I just like my guns clean. I did buy a caliber specific bore guide for my AR and liked it enough I bought two more for other rifles. I had a one size fits all that I wasn't to impressed with. I also like the cable type bore snakes and I like Parker Hale jags if I am using a rod.
