Look for "Chamber Brush" at midwayusa. They are larger than a bore brush.

When using Pro-Shot rifle bore brushes, to clean the bore, check diameter with a micrometer.

Some are oversize and may become jammed in the bore.

If they start hard, you may not be able to back them out.

I bent a steel coated rod pushing one through the bore. A first in my 73 years.
