The Hoppe's 1252 Tornado Brush delivers superior bore cleaning performance for .35 caliber firearms with its innovative spiral design that removes fouling more effectively than traditional brushes. This 10-pack ensures shooters maintain consistent cleaning supplies for extended range sessions and regular maintenance schedules.
What Makes This Different
The Tornado brush features a unique helix-shaped phosphor bronze bristle pattern that creates a scrubbing vortex inside the barrel. This spiral configuration increases surface contact by approximately 30% compared to standard straight brushes, allowing the bronze bristles to reach into rifling grooves more effectively. The design reduces the number of passes required for thorough cleaning while extending brush life through improved bristle retention.
Key Features
- Phosphor bronze bristles resist corrosion and maintain stiffness through repeated use

Field testing demonstrates the Tornado brush removes carbon fouling and copper deposits with fewer strokes than conventional designs. Competition shooters report faster cleaning times between stages, while hunters appreciate the thorough cleaning capability after extended field use. The phosphor bronze bristles maintain their shape through multiple cleaning sessions, making this brush suitable for both light maintenance and deep cleaning protocols.
