Bore brushes?

[171farm]

What bore brushes do you all prefer? Both brand and material? I see so many varying reviews on both, Im not further ahead than I was prior to looking at them.

Also, all my other rifles I have been able to find dedicated brushes for...looking to get ones to clean my 7mm and am having issues. Several of the brands out there are for 6.5/7mm or 270/7mm...are those going to give a loose fit? Should I just get whatever brand has a dedicated sized one?

Any input?

I use both nylon and bronze from Sinclair, Tipton, boretech, isso, and Dewey. Haven’t noticed a big difference in them to be honest.

just stay away from steel.

According to many on this forum you should never clean the bore of your rifle.
I do clean mine periodically but not much brushing. Bore jags (cotton patches) with Hoppes # 9 followed by CR10 copper cleaner and finish with another pass of Hoppes, also with a jag. I only brush when there is excessive powder or copper build up. I do buy caliber specific brushes and have always used bronze.
