[QUOTE="bayou shooter, post: 1589891, member: 90502"] I had a gunsmith tell me along time ago that wire brushes were not good to use in rifle barrels. He said that over a period of time the brushes would start to wear small grooves in the barrel of your rifle. He recommended patches only. I have adhered to his advice for many years and have never had any problems with my rifle barrels. Some of my older weapons are just as accurate now as they were when I bought them many moons ago and look brand new with a bore scope. For that reason I don't use bore snakes (there are wire brushes embedded in them). If I use a brush it will be plastic but that is a rarity for me. Normally I only use patches. But, hey, each to his own. [/QUOTE]
