Vince Green Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Not unless you are doing something silly or using a pull through. Ordinary brushes and patches wont hurt it. Read up on cleaning technique though. Edited August 10, 2011 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robben77 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 The attachment that holds my cleaning patch is like a spear,I take it you just push that through centre of the patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Always clean from chamber end never the muzzle and use a bore guide. The crown is important as if it is not even it will release the bullet in stages creating de-stablisation and lack of accuraccy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
