[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 2774967, member: 109136"] I've seen several barrels damaged with poor cleaning habits. Barrels are allot softer than most realize. When pulling a brush back thru thec muzzle, needs to be wet and pulled very slow. A friend brought me his Cooper 223 to bore scope because it stoped shooting. I accused him of using 60 grit sand paper! We did a Rockwell hardness test on a Kreiger barrel and a stainless cleaning rod, the rod was allot harder. I only use coated rods, quality bore guide and good brushes. [/QUOTE]
