well I've read a lot of different things too.
1. A prominent highpower shooter with a busy business wrote that he had limited time to clean guns so he decided one time to not do it. IIRC he went about 1500 rounds without losing accuracy.
2. I've read that it isn't necessary to clean .22LR barrels because they use waxed bullets that protect the bore.
3. Besides the bore, other parts of the gun need to be cleaned to maintain function- chambers, faces of cylinders, etc.
4. I don't know what the cleaning interval should be for revolvers using cast bullets. I think it is hard to buy commercial cast bullets and not have leading problems.
