[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 589128, member: 2693"] One barrel maker stated he really doesn't understand the concept of cleaning with a bronze brush to begin with because running it down the bore is like lapping it further, especially over the crown. You can skip to the 4 minute mark and listen to Krieger speak on cleaning and dragging a bronze brush against a crown. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwhOXV7lmYk]Barrel-maker John Krieger Interview - YouTube[/ame] Now as to changing directions of a brush inside a bore, if the brush is a good fit, it should be tight, so tight in fact that I don't think you should be able to change directions. I cannot tell you the mechanism of damage, but I've heard it from sources smarter than me that it is part of the "DO NOT EVER..." list. So, I don't do it. To me, the real purpose of brushing isn't so much to rid the bore of copper but to break up the carbon/black build up and get rid of it. [/QUOTE]
