[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3764206, member: 41176"] Steel doesn't go anywhere near my bores or chambers. I use a coated Dewey rod with a [B][I][U]bore guide[/U][/I][/B] and a jag for whatever caliber. I also use a coated Tipton. I use bronze brushes with a brass core...no steel, no brass bristles. Only bronze or copper bristles. Under no circumstances does a rod go in the chamber and bore in my guns without a bore guide - best way to jack up your chamber and throat. I'll use a boresnake if I don't have a bore guide. For borecleaner, I use Shooters on patches around the jag and remove the patch each pass at the muzzle. I'll brush it as well...if you don't have a jag at the time, you can use a bronze brush with a soaked patch wrapped around it as a substitute. I use Sweets for copper solvent and swab the bore back and forth, let it sit for 5-8 min, then back to Shooters. I'll swab the bore once with shooters for storing overnight or a few weeks, then punch the bore before I go out to shoot. If I'm storing it for the year, I'll punch the bore with a light oil...same with the other parts so's rust don't show up. [/QUOTE]
