I read this statement regarding cleaning a handguns barrel:
"Barrel: Use a copper or brass brush (no steel!), a good powder solvent, and many cotton patches to clean the bore. If you shoot jacketed bullets, be sure to select a copper solvent. Always run patches and brushes through the bore from the chamber end to prevent damage to the rifling near the muzzle."
How can you damage the rifling near the muzzle with a bronze brush? I assume that you're supposed to run the brush all the way through the barrel to push out any residue: at least, that's what I did. Did I damage the rifling by doing this?
Thanks for any help
