boretech rimfire blend cleaning question

I have procured a proshot stainless rod, the 20 caliber centerfire/ 22 rimfire one, and some bore tech rimfire blend solvent

also have a sinclair rod guide

I really like how the bore tech solvents work in my centerfires and shotguns and they don't stink up the house.

anyway the directions for the rimfire blend say to run a brush in the bore after wet patches of solvent.

is the brushing neccessary?

thanks

sorry for all the questions
I am re-learning rimfire stuff, been away from it for about 7 years or so.

Answer to the original post: It depends. Factory rifle with a rough barrel? Probably. Custom rifle with hand lapped barrel? Probably not. Switching ammo brands/types/weights, etc? Won't hurt.
 
I usually run wet patches through the bore untill they start to come out clean, then run a bronze brush through 10 to 20 times and finish with patches untill they come out clean. Sometimes after running the brush and then a few patches I will run a really wet patch through once and wait 15 minutes to an hour, sometimes even overnight, if I get blue patches from copper fouling I will repeat until the blue goes away. When I see clean patches coming out I run 3 dry patches through followed by a well oiled patch run through several times and follow this by 1 dry patch run through once. Copper fouling is not a problem with .22 rimfire, on my .22 rimfire guns I usually can get by with as little as 6 solvent soaked patches (2 or 3 patches, brush, patches) followed by drying and oil.

I would rather use a brush and a few patches to get the cleaning over with rather than a pile of patches and no brush.

Always use a bore guide.
