Cleaning rods and barrel damage

[goattman]

Thanks to everyone for the great information. I really appreciate it. Now I'm going to do the same type question with cleaning in general.

Thanks again,
Karl

Try this product. If you have a bore guide on the chamber end, why wouldn't you have one on the muzzle end - this last place a bullet contacts your barrel on the way down range?

I use Lucas bore guides Dewey plastic coated rods and hard plastic bristle brushes never any brass brushes.

I have used a Borescoped for 15 years to confirm no carbon ring or copper left in the bore.

Key is take it slow and not act like you are ramming the cannon ball he.
