I have one of those, made for chamber cleaning, but it DOES scratch the metal. Very effective brush, but I don't like metal brushes unless absolutely necessary. Just Me.
The CLP is use is G96

When they're actually dirty enough to clean, I run a bronze brush through the bore a few times, followed by a brass jag with a dry patch. I follow that with the jag and a patch wet with Eezox, then "dry" the chamber with a dry Q-tip.

It also makes subsequent bore cleanings almost unnecessary.

I only clean my range guns once a month, and that takes less than 10 minutes.

I'm a Marine. I clean my weapons after use. If I don't, Ssgt Rasponi will track me down and pull my lungs through my nose

in answer to the original post.... no, I've never used yellow scotchbrite on my chambers. And in answer to what I do with my chambers.... I use nylon brushes whenever possible and a product called Gunzilla for my CLP. Oh, and I clean after every shoot, so build up of crud isn't a real issue.
