[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 2092343, member: 114954"] I use bronze brushes as a first step with a carbon cleaner. I happen to mostly use C4 but Kroil works well. I make sure there are no copper cleaning agents in contact with the bronze brush as it will shorten the life. I make a 20-25 stroke pass and patch it out with copper remover. I have done this for 20 or more barrels in the past 5 years and the barrels will hold the original precision until the usual life span. Do make sure you use a good bore guide and a rod with a freely rotating bearing handle. Most of my fellow competitors clean with bronze brushes. [/QUOTE]
