[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1590133, member: 78056"] I will agree that one should never use bronze brushes in a good barrel. My first really good barrel was a McGowen in .22 CheetaH. After one pass with a bronze brush I could look down the barrel with my borescope and see the fine scratches left behind. I haven't put a bronze brush down a good shooting rifle barrel since. Undersized nylon only with patches to full bore. Plus, with the chemicals available today, there's absolutely no need for bronze brushes with the possible exception of handguns & lead bullets. I do use the 100lb fishing line in my rimfires (melting an end to make a patch holder then stabbing the other end thru the center of the patch) however I take great care to keep the line from touching the crown when pulling them thru (mostly on rifles that are a pain to clean from the breach end, like Ruger 10/22). I would assume the same could be done with a snake but I don't use them myself. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
