Default RE: Does a clean barrel affect patterns?

ORIGINAL: shamlin

Im not sure about a shotgun. When I was in the Marines they taught us that a dirty bore would cause a rifle to be less acurate.
True, plus it was a very convenient excuse for them to make us clean ourrifle after morning chow, when in fact we had cleaned them just the night before! Who'd have thought arifle would get so dirty just by hanging it up on your rack and going to sleep.
