[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 341016, member: 3733"] Mark, I guess I still use bronze brushes on a limited basis because I feel the finer sized brissles do a better job of getting into the corners of the groove, and the brissle tips do a better job of scratching up the copper fouling. With that said I usually only do 3-5 strokes per cleaning on a custom barrel and on the ones I own that foul very little I use no brush at all just BTE on patches. As you have stated in your last paragraph; One thing I noticed but can not really prove is that it seems like in heavily copper fouled bores, that after removing a good bit of copper it seems more difficult to remove it all, like may-be the fouling builds up a slime or coating that the bronze brush or even a nylon brush then rubs off so the BTE can be more effective on what amounts to re-exposed copper.
