[/ QUOTE ] Take a nylon 22 cal brush, chuck it up in your drill and run it against some sandpaper or preferably a grinder to make it smaller. both 4ked and I did this and the resized brush works well.

As for the coppermelt's effectiveness, I cleaned my Dad's 338WM with it because everything else I tried just polished the copper - you could clearly see it at the end of the barrel.
