[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 27980, member: 22"] Rem 25-06, Pushing the patches out through the muzzle without reversing is the way the majority of competition/serious accuracy shooters do it. Myself I will reverse it at certain times. But I am in the minority in that thinking. I've always been accused of being different though. I think what you may have confused is when using a bore past like J-B or Flitz. Then it's almost univerally understood to always work it back and forth right up to the muzzle then push it straight out. But as far as standard cleaning patches with carbon or copper cleaning solvent on them.... push'um on out and get that crud out of there. With a bronze brush make sure you go all the way out of the muzzle then gently pull it back through to get it centered back up. Nylon brushes are a lot easier on your crown, but I've done some testing/observing lately and they may not be the best thing since sliced bread. Jury is still out there. Steve [/QUOTE]
