First, let me be clear that I'm not a metallurgist, or even a machinist. However, I believe there are many types of "stainless steel", just as there are many different types of steel. It's reasonable for me to assume that the stainless wire used in making bore brushes and the toothbrush types of cleaning brushes is significantly different from the stainless steel used in high quality knife blades, for example. Let me also make it clear that I'm not recommending the use of stainless to others. That's not what my post said. I DO recommend the procedure described at the end of that post.
I would also add that cleaning the bore of a modern shotgun after each outing, is probably more often than necessary. Again, JMO.
