The KleenBore A163 bore brush delivers thorough cleaning for .338 and 8mm rifle calibers with phosphor bronze bristles that remove fouling without damaging barrel surfaces. This precision-manufactured cleaning tool features the standard 8-32 thread pattern found on most rifle cleaning rods.
What Makes This Different
Phosphor bronze bristles provide the optimal balance between cleaning effectiveness and barrel protection, unlike steel brushes that can cause premature wear or nylon brushes that lack sufficient scrubbing power. The A163's bristle density and length are specifically calibrated for .338 and 8mm bore diameters, ensuring complete contact with rifling grooves. KleenBore's manufacturing process creates uniform bristle tension across the entire brush surface for consistent cleaning performance.
Key Features
- Phosphor bronze bristles remove copper fouling and carbon buildup effectively
- 8-32 thread pattern fits standard rifle cleaning rods
- Precision-sized for .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua, and 8mm Mauser calibers
- Corrosion-resistant bronze construction withstands cleaning solvents
- Uniform bristle density ensures even cleaning pressure
- Looped and wound bristle attachment prevents bristle loss during use
- Made in USA with quality control standards
Regular use of the A163 maintains accuracy by removing fouling that affects bullet trajectory and velocity consistency. The phosphor bronze material works effectively with both traditional powder residues and modern copper-jacketed bullet fouling. Competition shooters rely on this brush type to maintain sub-MOA accuracy between matches, while hunters use it to ensure reliable performance in field conditions.
