[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2116536, member: 113003"] Thanks for the excellent info. I was wondering if I should move away from my SS cleaning rod and start using carbon. Years ago I had a Browning A-bolt in .300WM that always shot respectable....1 MOA or less. Then after giving it a big time cleaning, no bore guide used, it lost its accuracy. This was long before I knew what a custom rifle, or load development was. I think I bought every type of factory ammo produced and none of it would shoot better than 2”-2.5” inches at 100yds. I gave that gun to my nephew and he’s killing deer every season at close range....we live in the east where a 100yd shot is a poke. Anyway, I think I may have damaged the bore jamming the SS rod up and down, without being careful. Oh one last ??......when using a brush, do u only go from one direction? As in shove from the action out the muzzle, then unscrew the brush, pull out the rod, screw it back on and repeat. A friend told me he never shoves a brush from muzzle to action. Truth or fiction??
