Bristle Brushes For Bore Cleaning

[Mass Shooter]

I know that cleaning from the breech is optimal method for bore cleaning, are the bristle brushes still used for bore scrubbing say after a few hundred rounds?

I'm mainly speaking of the soft copper or brass twisted wire brushes from cleaning kits. .... Or does everyone stick with patches only for bore cleaning?

Regards

I really like the "bristle" brushes that come in the cleaning kits shipped with the pistols - Pardini SP, TOZ, and Hammerli 208S come to mind. They are true "bristle" no metal at all. The disperse the dirt but do nt scratch.

Difficult to answer a general question like that. I would never take a metal wire brush to the bore of a FP, but perhaps I would to clean the bore of a RF pistol consuming 10000 rounds per year.
