I started using foam bore cleaner after I started collecting milsurp rifles with frosted and pitted bores from corrosive primers. A rough bore will eat copper bore brushes and give you a false copper reading.
I normally give my rifles one shot of foam bore cleaner and call it good enough. This greatly reduces cleaning rod usage and chances of damage to the barrel. And yes I have bore guides, spare the rod and spoil the bore.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
All my rifles are off the shelf factory rifles and I do not have any custom made barrels.
