The threads could fail and then with a big dose of Murphy, there you go?
A steel rod can scratch steel; brass and aluminum cannot scratch steel. They.are.not.hard .enough.
Makes me think of fellas griping about tools, a vehicle or at least the fasteners on the vehicle then you find out he splurges for tools at the Harbor Fright fairground sale.
+1. Clean a .22 rim fire barrel? What a concept.If your .22 are 22 Rimfire I do not even rod them -- you could get a Bore Snake for the 22's and then get a rod for the 270. With my 22 rimfire I just pull patches through the bore with a line till they come up clean.
Can brass scratch a bore? Check that out by asking a local bench rest shooter. Can soft metal scratch or harm steel? My soft lead bullets will right thru a steel plate.
I'm curious as to how you guys are breaking rods off inside a barrel? Using it to clear squibs and stuck casings? I have been punching bores for many years and I've never had a rod break.
