[QUOTE="MASH, post: 1853731, member: 91249"] I'm not sure how you would damage your barrel with a bronze brush if using it properly. Steel is a little more then twice as hard as bronze to start with and was the standard for many years before they started producing nylon brushes. I would think that using a reamer would be far worse then bronze brush. I believe that most people that caused damage with a bronze brush were actually causing the damage with the cleaning rod itself. You would have to work pretty hard with the brush to impact the steel. I could be wrong, but I know that growing up we always used bronze brushes but was also shown the proper way to use it along with the appropriate rod. I do use nylon brushes these days and they work well so when i have to replace one, it's a nylon one that I get. [/QUOTE]
