I have started a few threads on cleaning rifles, pistols, and muzzleloaders and seen that some folks do not use bore brushes when cleaning their guns. Some say they only do it in extreme use cases.
I do not shoot a lot. For my muzzleloader probably less than 5 rounds a year and for my other deer guns, shotgun, rifle, and now pistol it will probably be like under 3 shots a year so I thought these could probably get away with just a 2 solvent wet patches, let sit, 2 dry patches to make sure clean, and then 2 protectant (Montana Xtreme Bore Conditioner) wet patches should be enough.
I'm sure most of you will be shooting a lot more than that though.
So, anyone not use Bore Brushes for cleaning their Firearms?
I do know that some only use nylon brushes instead of brass brushes though.
