    I know the first live round out will probably take all that with it, but the idea of planning to put a live round down a barrel which I KNOW has some kind of obstruction in it makes me a uncomfortable.
    It should. Most crap that accumulates in the bore that people think will be "pushed out" with the next live round/copper jacketed round actually doesn't and gets pressed into the rifling instead. Obviously, if there's enough of it, you actually do have a pressure-increasing obstruction and that, of course, is a bad day.

    Keep snaking after sims, it's a really good idea.

    wipe and lube is a good idea. don't gotta go nuts.

    i always did the bore on my AR every 400-600 rounds. the bolt got a wipe down and relube every range trip though.

    carry guns get a decent cleaning every time out.
