Well you need to leave some copper in it. Some people strip it out and then it'll take 3-5 rounds or so to get it back in there.

I never fully stripped everything out of the barrel when I had my custom rifle. Did I clean it yes, with oil and I did clean the action. Just never stripped the barrel. If its a hunting rifle and you are shooting it, then stripping everything out of the bareel you will likely never see the full potential of the rifle and most likely are doing more harm than good.
