A .50 wrapped with steel wool.
If I’m not mistaken I think they offer them in vinyl tooI’ve used steel wool and scotch brite occasionally but both cut; brushes don’t cut. Pro-Shot brushes don’t unwind either like other brands brushes. They are wound from the feral up. Had it happen to me recently. But I got lucky i by some miracle was able to get it reconnected and removed it by just retiting the range rod. I’m sure you can probably scotch brite or steel wool your barrel for a long time before it takes to much though. To each his own I will stick with brushes made by Pro Shot look closely!

I disagree I use boiling water three flushes minimally wiping 3 or 4 times between flushes; one last flush with boiling water brushed with caliber specific bronze or nylon brush and then I wipe it with patches soaked in either the track of the wolf cleaner or T17 wiped until dry. Then I hit each barrel with a wipe using corrosion x. The end. Over kill unfortunately No that’s what it takes all my barrels to be really clean and zero rust dust the next time I wipe it before shooting. I store them mostly muzzle down after cleaning.There is a good chance the brush will get stuck at the breech and break off the rod. You do not need a brush for a ML.
Tell us more. How much?Also I used to be stuck on LPS 2 for corrosion control until I discovered this CorrosionX rust inhibitor, pricey stuff but it works. One maybe two damp not wet patches and i could not be happier.
I feel the only time really gets them clean is by using a brush. Using a brush is a pain! lolI don’t use brushes in my MLs. But to each his own.
i think it has grown in popularity amongst people working on rusty cars like my 76 280z. I did some work on it early spring saw it and purchased a can. I did have good success with LPS but I think this stuff has a rust eater so it is a little more than a corrosion inhibitor. Then I tried it on a couple of my flintlocks it certainly keeps rust at bay. Last week I went to my local hardware store to buy an 870 for the day of doom; thankfully that didn’t go off as advertised. This hardware store also sells guns and beer supplies and right along with all the other gun cleaners was Corrosion X. I told the sales guy I use it to persevere the bore on my flintlocks now which are very susceptible to rust. He was a young guy said people seem to like it. He seemed to have no interest in talking flintlocks LOL foolish young generation. I went for the 870 wood stock of course because I didn’t feel like the Brown Bess or Charleville was suitable for close quarters and besides you only get one shot of buck and ball compared to the 870 which gets 6 of double oo buck!Tell us more. How much?
Off hand do you know if they are available in 69 and 75 cals. I bet they work great! Off to the Pro Shot website to see if they carry them!I like tynex brushes. That and a stainless tornado brush, but that’s more for a smoothbore.
I use a tornado 12 gauge for the .75 and it works great. That and some 12 gauge swabs after. I got the idea of all this from a video. I just sorted it to plug the touch hole as I don’t like black powder spooge water dribbling into my lock mortise and trigger, etc.Off hand do you know if they are available in 69 and 75 cals.

It's a Muzzleloader. You can use Windex, motor oil, or other odd stuff people these days do - or you can clean it like the Muzzleloader it is;Will a .410 shotgun or 20 guage brass brush work for a .54 cal rifled barrel? Or what do you use? I know, I am lazy and didn't do a search here, lol
