.20 TACTICAL

[PMA3]

For those that still use a brush in cleaning, have you had any problems getting a brush to fit the bore? My Montana Xtreme brush provides hardly any resistance at all...I can push it through with two fingers on the end of my Bore Tech rod. A 1" square patch is much tighter. I thought maybe I had a .17 cal brush but these .20 cals measure just under .200" so they should be the right size.

The other option would be to use a worn out 22 cal brush.

I get my 20 cal. from Bruno that measure at .214. Very good brushes.

chuckshooter,

Thanks to all for measuring their brushes. I ordered some Pro-Shot brushes as I use their patches and have dealt with them before.

Bruno brushes are excellent and if you buy the 12 pack the price per brush is very reasonable.

Just to follow up, I bought a Bore-Tech nylon brush and a Pro-Shot bronze brush. The Montana Extreme nylon and Bore-Tech nylon brushes are way too loose.....no resistance. I could reverse either one half way down the barrel. The only one to provide "normal" resistance was the Pro-Shot....go figure!

I have 20 cal BoreTech brushes that are sufficiently tight. Definitely could not reverse them. I would call BoreTech and ask for replacements.

I have BoreTech nylons in all calibers, and they are a very good product. LDS
