Hoppe'S 1314Ap Phosphor Bronze Brush 10 Gauge
The Hoppe's 1314AP is a phosphor bronze brush sized for 10 gauge shotguns. If you shoot lead shot regularly—which most hunters do—this is the brush that'll do the heavy lifting in your barrel. Phosphor bronze is the go-to material for lead fouling because it's soft enough not to damage the steel of your barrel, but stout enough to scrub away the buildup that plain patches can't touch. Whether you're cleaning after a day at the clays course or maintaining a workhorse field gun, this brush handles the job efficiently without the guesswork.
Shotgun barrels collect lead faster than rifle bores, especially if you're shooting volume. A dedicated 10 gauge brush ensures you're matching the tool to the bore size—no forcing a smaller brush into a larger bore, no struggling with oversized bristles. Keep one in your cleaning kit so you're never caught without the right size.
Hoppe's has been making gun cleaning gear for generations because shooters trust it. This brush reflects that reputation: straightforward, durable, and made to work. It's the kind of tool that disappears into your routine until you need it, and then you're glad it's there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this brush safe for my shotgun barrel?
Yes. Phosphor bronze is softer than steel, so it won't scratch or harm your bore. It's designed specifically for cleaning gun barrels.
Why phosphor bronze instead of steel?
Phosphor bronze is particularly effective at removing lead fouling—the residue left by lead shot. It's soft enough to preserve your barrel but stout enough to scrub away buildup.
Do I need a 10 gauge brush, or will a smaller one work?
A brush matched to your bore size works best. Using an undersized brush in a 10 gauge barrel won't clean effectively, and forcing an oversized brush can damage the bore.
