Just my humble opinion but I only mostly use nylon and some bronze bore brushes. Probably 10 to 1 ratio nylon. We have an ample supply from .17 to .338. Only want to use softer material than the barrel metal. If using a good bore cleaner should only need nylon.I see Bass Pro has some stainless steel barrel cleaning brushes - anyone have any experience with them? Or opinions on using them?

For this, use a small wad of the white scotch brite. I also use scotch brite for degunking brass. It does a wonderful job as long as you use the correct one. There are several different colors signifying different coarseness.I've used them as they have one particular application where nothing else works as well. Removing serious rust from the bore of someone's "family heirloom".
