Different use

Currently there no broken shell extractors for 375 or 408 cheyTac rounds. Once that happens your shooting is over till you get it solved If you push this chamber brush into the broken shell you can drive out the brush with a brass rod from the muzzle end and you are back to shooting. Not what it is designed but works like s charm every time.

Almost perfect

Everything was just right except the brass portion, with its uniform diameter, it's too long. It needs to reduce in diameter to accommodate the portion of the chamber that correlates to where the brass neck reduces towards the bullet. After you get it in there and mush the end down it fits alright. Also you'll need a pistol cleaning rod with a handle that does NOT rotate, otherwise you can't rotate the brush within the chamber to be effective. It takes a little use to get it shaped right.
