- Does a standard brush cause bore wear? I've been warned against those
- "cyclone" (or "tornado" or whatever they are" steel brushes for that
- reason, and have never used them, but I understood that my bronze (or
- at least bronze-colored) standard Hoppe's brush was metallurgically

- When a gun is really leaded, I don't mind plying the brush a bit; but
- then I see these writeups in magazines and catalogs that say things like,
- "pass the brush down the bore six times" and I think, "only six?" Such
- recommendations have got me to wondering now whether I'm beating the hell
- out of my bores out of ignorance...
