Apologies for the convoluted wording in the subject - here's what I'm trying to ask...
Does anyone know (roughly) how many passes of a brass bore brush through the barrel will equal the wear to the bore of one round fired? Both of the aforementioned cause wear, the former much less than the latter because of the heat, friction and gas displacement involved.
I was just curious if there is a 'rule of thumb', say, 50 passes with the brush = 1 round of wear.
I realize it's kind of a silly question... one of those things that popped into my head while raking leaves.
