great product - if used correcly

When used correctly, it works wonders. I use it in my .357 revolver to clean the chambers after shooting a lot of .38 Specials. This brush does a great job of removing the lead and crud so if needed, I could chamber a .357. The secret is don't twist the brush - just in and out. If twisted, the brush collapses and becomes useless. It is made of stainless steel, so I would personally never use it to clean the barrel.

Works great on a ported shotgun

This works great on ported shotgun and chokes.

Excellent for cylinder cleaning

After ruining several traditional bore bushes, using JB compound, Bore-tech eliminator, etc. I read another review on the Tornado Brush, .38(.357) Cal. and it's use for revolver cylinder cleaning. This bush is very effect, removing fouling where previous attempt/methods failed. I highly recommend for revolver cylinder cleaning.

Great Brush

We shoot Cowboy Fast Draw using wax bullets. We haven't found any other brush that will get wax out of a .45 bore better than this brush. I buy them by the handful to keep in the bag, other shooters are always asking for them.

Works Great!

An excellent brush for cleaning the melted plastic out of a shotgun barrel.
