Warning to those that use bore brushes in their front stuffers (i have always used one) they are NOT created equal! They make brushes that loop through, and brushes that are press fitted, if you use the press fitted type in your front stuffer you are asking for problems, they can pull apart (i know this first hand!) it's a bad feeling when you bottom out and start to pull and the rod comes back without the brush! You can help this by slightly twisting the rod when you bottom out, that changes the direction of the bristles and they will usually come back out much easier, but the best way is to avoid the press fitted brushes all together and stick to the loop through type, the loop through brushes are designed for Muzzleloaders
Here is a good loop through brush that won't pull apart
And here is a press fitted brush that can/will pull apart
