    Exactly! And with the right chemicals, you don't even need that damn brush at all!
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    A little OT, but does no one shoot Tula?

    Don't lube ammo, of any type.

    In case you were referring to lubing your rifle, which I believe you were, carry on. A wet rifle is a happy rifle.
    Ahhhh, yeah, lube the rifle.

    I wondered if the brush on a drill might be a little harsh.
    But what chemicla would you suggest as a cleaner/solvent that would take out that gunk the steel case ammo comes coated in?

    Tula...the evil temptress. Yeah I'll admit it, but I don't shoot it a lot due to the supposed negative effects on the gun compared to brass. Brass also negatively effects my bank account though and in a much more visible sense.

    Probably have put about 400 rounds of Tula intermingled with another 600 rounds of various brass through a new BCM 16" upper with no issues. I have cleaned my chamber a few times via hand twisting a chamber brush during routine cleaning maybe a half dozen rotations. Probably didn't need to buy just FYI.

    I have been a bit leery of Tula as of late due to a friend having two hang fires recently. He safely kept the bore down range, but the rounds did detonate a second or two after dropping the hammer. Never have personally seen that before.

    Weak ammo can cause hangfire. Lots of people shoot cases of Tula without harm, just keep a dewy rod handy to occasionally knock out a case.

    Shooters Choice will clean any gunk from Steel Cased ammo out of your chamber, right down to the bare steel.

    Any downside to this as far as residual stuff remaining even after a couple of swipes with a patch?
