Bore Brush Storage

[BP Addict]

I accidentally grabbed a brand new 50-caliber brush and ran it down a 45-caliber bore. It hit the bottom and didn’t want to come back out.

I came up with the idea of using a plastic coin roll holder to keep them separated. These were for a nickel that could possibly hold up to a 12-gauge brush. I think a penny size would work for 45 & 50 and a dime size for smaller calibers like 32, 36, and 40.

These can be purchased online or at your local Coin and Collectibles shop. I bought used ones for a fraction of the cost.

Of, course if my guns were standardized at 50-caliber, it would make things easier, all around. But what’s the fun in that?

Shoot Straight, my friends!

Good idea. I’ve done the same thing. So now I mark all my .45 jags and brushes with blue sharpie to distinguish them readily from the .50s.

Good idea.

I had that happen once and despite my tugging efforts I was stuck. I usually used compressed air to clear out bottom bore mistakes but a brush is like a screen door. A benchrest shooting buddy told me to shoot some Sweets down the bore let it set a bit and it will willfully come back. Sweets is high content ammonia and ammonia eats brass/copper then turn blue. Well it worked great but the hard truth is your brush will be a caliber or two smaller depending on soak time
