"They" say to clean from the breech , instead of from the muzzle. Inserting a cleaning rod and whatever attachment from the muzzle end can damage the crown of the barrel hurting accuracy. That's the part of the barrel that last contacts the projectile, so it's the most touchy.
That being said, I still clean my rifles from the muzzle like I've done for 30+ years.
My pistols I go from the breech end first.
