How many rounds

[Maxwell87]

Hi guys, looking for some info. How many rounds do you generally fire before you clean your rifle barrel? I’m new to the game and only have shotgun experience. For that I would do every couple hunts or maybe if I shot a case of target shells.

Trying to learn my first big game rifle Wich is a older Winchester 30-06. I plan to try to shoot it a fair amount. I’m sure there isn’t a set number but curious what some of the more experienced guys do? After each time 20-40 rounds? Or 100+? I had a guy tell me not to clean it to much because the bore gets tighter and helps with accuracy but that does seem odd to me?!?

I did completely clean and rebuild the gun before I first shot it. I don’t want to be excessive or even damage things cleaning the barrel to much nor do I want to neglect things. Thanks for any feedback.
