I used to do this with 45acp figuring that the pressure increase would still be well within safe limits of the barrel.
As working pressures go up, I feel less confident of the safety. I dont do it with 44 mag - I use a bronze or stainless bore brush.
I definitely wont do it with a 65Kpsi rifle cartridge.
I know that a famous military experimenter (forgot the name) tested this in rifles.
