Just wondering how important it is to use a bore guide when cleaning your gun and if so, what one do you use. Also to see how many folks use one.
How necessary are Bore Guides for cleaning?
*** Correct me if I'm wrong but Bore Guides are normally used to clean from breech to muzzle thus not affecting the crown at all?
If that is the case, then protecting a rifle's crown should have no impact on whether or not you are using a bore guide if you are going from breech to muzzle? ***
I've always cleaned from breech to muzzle, so unless I'm roughly and careless ripping the cleaning rod backward through the rifle barrel the rifle's crown should never be touched by the back of the cleaning jag I believe.
