Using a Tipton carbon fiber rod with bronze patchholder at the tip, I don't quite understand how cleaning from the barrel end could damage the crown since both of these materials are softer than steel. Could someone help explain this to me?
how could water carve the grand canyon if water is softer than rocks?
Clean it from the muzzle very many times and you will soon see how working a rod of any kind through it can damage a muzzle.
Alumimum rods get steel filings embeded in them. THen when you run that rod along a steel surface,
steel filings come from the bullet and any other metal parts that rub on metal parts inside your gun.
I'm not saying one cleaning method is better than another, I'm just saying that the potential for damage is grossly overstated
I just love how a cleaning rod will eat the rifling right out of a bbl whan pushed the "wrong" way but steel jacketed ammo won't hurt your bore even for 1000's of rounds

How can a lead and copper bullet go threw a steel plate?
