They pretty much don't know anything about barrel cleaning. When your hands are dirty do you just put soap on them and rub them one way. A barrel needs to be cleaned just like you do your dirty hands.NoMiss said:I read about shooters who only use brushes in one direction. I imagine that means they push the brush through, take it off of the rod, pull the rod out, reattach the brush and repeat. I can't see any reason for that. Can anybody explain.

Two thing you must remove from a barrel is copper from the bullet and baked in powder residue. Solvents only loose it does not remove it When you patch or brush one way you only clean one side of the lands.
Watch the cleaning process al the bench rest shooter do .They wet brush both directions and patch from the breach.
