A quality bore brush is non-negotiable if you're serious about rifle maintenance. The KleenBore A163 8mm/.338 cal rifle bore brush is built for shooters who want to remove fouling and powder residue without compromising their barrels. This phosphor bronze brush fits standard American #8-32 threaded cleaning rods, making it compatible with most rifle maintenance setups you'll already have on hand.
What sets this brush apart is its construction. Kleen-Bore uses straight (not crimped) phosphor bronze bristles with rounded tips—a design that maximizes cleaning power while protecting your rifling. The bristles stay stout and resist bending under the pressure of a thorough scrubbing, so you get consistent, effective cleaning session after session. Phosphor bronze is the material of choice for serious gun owners because it's hard enough to lift fouling but gentle enough to never damage the grooves that make your rifle shoot accurately.
Made in the USA and engineered for rifle cartridges in the .338/8mm range, this brush handles the work without the guesswork. Whether you're running a .338 Lapua Magnum, .338 Win Mag, or any 8mm rifle, this is the kind of straightforward, reliable tool that belongs in every shooter's cleaning kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this brush work with my cleaning rod?
Yes, if your cleaning rod has an American standard #8-32 threaded connection. This is the most common thread size for rifle bore brushes and cleaning rods, so compatibility is straightforward. Check your rod's thread specification to confirm.
Can I use this brush on other calibers?
This brush is sized and designed for .338 caliber and 8mm rifle bores. Using it on significantly different bore diameters can reduce cleaning effectiveness or cause fit issues, so stick to the calibers it's built for.
Will phosphor bronze damage my barrel?
No. Phosphor bronze is softer than steel and specifically selected for gun cleaning because it removes fouling and residue without harming the barrel or rifling. It's the material preferred by shooters and gunsmiths for safe, effective bore maintenance.
How do straight bristles compare to crimped?
Straight bristles maintain their rigidity and cleaning contact throughout the bore, delivering more consistent scrubbing power than crimped designs. They also resist bending under cleaning pressure, which means better longevity and more effective fouling removal over time.
