[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 74350, member: 2852"] A 22 caliber brush needs to be ground down a bit to clean a 6mm. Or you can use a 17 caliber rod and brush and it works fine but is a little hoaky. Generally, you want to go down 3 brush sizes from your bore size (not counting the weird Euro and forgotten calibers) so that you can run the patch in and out of your bore up to 40 strokes without it shredding the patch. It should "sing" when it is the right tightness while you run it down the bore. [/QUOTE]
