just curious, but are you able to get out all the trace metal fouling from the rifling groves with the bore brush rotating? I always figured a brush moving with more rotation than the rifling twist would miss the deeper edges of the rifling groves, kind of like sweeping across a crack in a floor, rather than with the direction of the crack. I have chucked a brush in a drill to clean out .38 spl lead fouling from a .357 mag revolver chambering before. :grin:
