22 Centerfire vs 22 Rimfire
Great Brushes/but there's no difference in diameter of 22CF vs 22RF Dewey Brush/Dewey recommends using a shorter brush for use in 22RF
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great bore cleaning brushes
I have used Dewey products for years and consider them to be the best available. They last longer than cheaper, shorter brushed and stay attached to the cleaning rod better. Truly a great product.

Great product
These are hands down my favorite brushes for Dewey rods.

Great for top quality equipment
These brushes are worth every penny. The extra protection they potentially offer by only utilizing brass vs. steel on the shank is worth any extra cost. While you may never have any issue with the solid part hitting a part of your barrel, the peace of mind of knowing the brass is softer and therefore can't hurt anything is worth it to me. Just remember these are meant for the male end of a Dewey rod.

High Quality, can't hurt barrel
These brushes have strong bristles, are made all of softer materials that can't hurt the bore, and from what I've seen they are durable and will last quite a few cleanings without falling apart. Mine all threaded onto the Dewey coated rod, no problems and no gaps.

Excellent Brushes
These are the best bore brushes I have found to date. They are much better quality than the brushes you will find on the shelf [...]

Great Solution, Great Price, One Caviot
Nice heavy brass base makes it easy to thread onto the cleaning rod. Round Coil tip insures no damage to barrel. Only problem is that 2 of the 3 brushes did not thread all the way down to full seat on the rod; leaving one to 1.5 threads exposed... not much potential for damage to barrel, but I guess it's possible. It looks like Brownells needs to talk to manufacture about quality control, as one of the brushes did make it all the way down the threads.

AVOID!
LAUGHABLE! AVOID! ** Product boasts: "Do away with the thread adapter; Special Line brushes thread right onto Dewey Coated rods. Eliminates the need to constantly change adapters; no more hunting for a misplaced adapter." ... you literally HAVE TO BUY AN ADAPTER to be able to use these on any standard bore rod! ** LAUGHABLE! AVOID!
