I love Montana x-tremes products. I think midwayusa carry’s. Very nicely made

I use Dewey brushes and buy them direct in the dozen packs to save.

Performance & useful life is great.

Because I use a lot of BoreTech products, I like their brushes. No false positives on copper. I also keep a good supply of bronze brushes for the dirty work. It's also handy to have bore and chamber mops to fit each caliber.

I like the 12 packs of bronze rifle brushes that of Sinclair/Brownells sells.

I'll just list the features I seek in bronze brushes (you didn't say if you wanted bronze metal or nylon but DO NOT get stainless):

- brass wire core
- loop end, not cut
- fits the bore properly (not too tight or loose)

hard to beat Brunos for brushes

My most recent experience with Sinclair brushes will have me looking elsewhere. They were pistol brushes that shed their bristles after a couple of strokes through the bore. It didn't seem to matter what caliber I was using, they ALL shed their bristles and I was left with an almost bare core. I won't be buying anymore from them. A friend of mine said the same thing happened to him using Sinclair brushes.

Do you want bronze, or nylon? Though both are abrasive and work well, bronze brushes are stiffer.

I bought Dewey brushes once and found they fit much to loose. Montana Extreme and Iosso are very good

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Pro shot brushes work well

I have been trying Boresmith brushes and their triangle patch. So far I have been pleased with the results. I have ran them on .22, .25 and .30cals.

I agree with what Jepp said, I usually look for Borwnells "Special Line" brushes. They have a brass core and the loop end and since I use them on a Dewey rod and they can be ordered for Deweys, they fit the bill.
