Looking for a .470 bore brush

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Hi,

When I run a .45 Schofield case through a drill sizing chart, the case appears to be a tad larger than .468,

but smaller enough to leave slack in the next size, .484.

So to clean the cylinder bore, I am guessing about a .470-.475 brush ... does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks!

I've been known to use .50 cal brushes for cleaning .45 chambers....pretty infrequent at that since I shoot BP 99%of the time... I also make things easy by chucking the brush into a low-speed hand drill.

Use a brass  .50.  The gun won't know the difference and you won't hurt it any.

If you can find any of the old GI issue brushes for the 1911, use them.  They work great.  I "happened" upon a fair amount of them when we turned the 1911's in for the M9.  Using the the .50 cal brushes the other suggest is a good way.

I've mentioned this before - but using a 'used' M16 Chamber Cleaning Brush will definitely do a fine job of bore cleaning.

Vaya,
