There are so many post about this online. but here is what I have fallen back on. If it is just going to be a run of the mill rifle IE not bench rest. I will clean after every shot until the copper stops fouling so much or barrel for (lack of better term ) pours close up.
You will see a sharp decline in the amount of copper that gets left in the barrel after 1 shot is fired. usually between 10 and 15 rounds sometimes less.
Once that happens I will clean every twenty rounds twice and done.

I use a differant procedure on a quality gun
Basically the above procedure will help keep the barrel from fouling so much and make it easier to clean later on..IMHO!!!
