Looking at buying a one-piece cleaning rod and I read how they they won't pick up grit and scrape the rifling and bore ruining it. I am looking at getting a one-piece cleaning rod to clean both rifles and muzzleloaders.
1.) How realistic is it that you will scrape the bore and ruin it?
I also shoot 2 Muzzleloaders and was looking at getting the one-piece cleaning rod to make it easier since they are bit longer then the standard muzzleloader rod.
I use a Muzzleloader and you are always ramming the rod down the bore, loading and cleaning and it scrapes the bore.
Muzzleloader ram rods have an end like this, which obviously scrapes the bore:
2.) Is it more less important to maintain the bore of a Muzzleloader then it is a regular rifle?
