Veracity

Gentlemen,
Due to my extreme embarrassment, I wasn't going to post this question. Enough time has passed and I figured my ego could take a few flames.
Came back from the range after shooting my 6920 and my BM. Cleaned the Colt first and everything was fine. Not sure if I ran a brush through it. It was its second time at the range and it has only seen about 75 rounds so far. I think I ran four patched through it. All went well.
I then began to clean the BM which I clean after each and every use. It has seen perhaps 800 rounds.
Like I always do, I inserted my Dewey bore guide, set up my Dewey rod with a brass bore brush(I think it's brass), and the damn thing got caught up the instant it entered the barrel. Yeah, it got past the breach and (forgive me, I don't know the name of it) the transitional width section between the breach and the bore.
That thing was in there!
I pulled the rod guide back a bit and could easily see the brush...just jammed in there. It managed to get itself all the way into the bore...up to its full length...before it stopped cold.
I didn't try to force it. I gave up and tried to pull it back...but the damn thing wouldn't budge.
I eventually put the Dewey rod's plastic handle in my vise, grabbed my upper with both hands, and slowly pulled and turned the upper till I dislodged the brush.
What the Hell was that? There were no obstructions. The last time I cleaned it, it did give me a bit of resistance, but it was no big deal.
Any thoughts or advice?
I thought about buying an Otis system 'cause I heard it was a bit more "bore friendly."
