Make sure if you ever use a bore brush in a muzzleloader that it is the kind where the wire is threaded through a hole in the thread base and then wound with the bristles and not the cheaper kind that is wound, cut in sections, and then just jammed into the base. The latter kind can pull out and remain stuck in the bore. Only way to get it out is pull the breechplug and push it back out. I learned this the hard way.
Actually there's another way...buy a piece of thin walled tubing at a hardware store that will just fit inside the bore, slide it all the way down around the brush, the brush becomes captured inside the tubing, and remove the tubing

RB I like the tip about the tube. Learn something new every day. Thanks
If Your using the brush as a patch puller and theres a patchin the breech,You can pull the nipple and work a little powder into the chanel replace the nipple and fire it out,Don't know if it works on flinters, but will do it for cap locks.Sometimes the patch/brush will only go part way out the bore the first shot,pull the nipple again and now work-in about 10 grs.of powder reseat the patch/brush back to the breech and fire it again this has always worked for me.I use the same basic proceedure for dryballing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifGordy

Rich,.... You can make a good "patch puller" out of a worn bore-brush. All ya need to do is cut the bore-brush in half then un-wind the two stiff wires enough to remove the bristles. The two-fingers of stiff wire will grab a patch real well, jest screw the modified brush into yore ramrod, run'er down the bore, and turn the ramrod a couple'a turns then pull the patch out!! :winking:
