Alright, I'll admit it......this thread contradicts everything I do when I clean my rifles. I use cold tap water and that's about it. I do clean until the patches come out white, even use a breech brush......but I only use a bronze brush about once a year. Always heard that would ruin the "seasoning"......Plus I've always been told that you NEVER pull a bronze brush back through a barrel. When everything is clean and dry, I liberally coat the inside of the barrel with a combo of olive oil and bees wax. I've never had a problem with rust.
I'm just paranoid enough that now I'll spend the next week rethinking my process. ::
