The Hoppe's Phosphor Bronze Rifle Cleaning Brush (.338 Calibre / 8mm) is a precision-engineered firearm maintenance accessory designed to keep your rifle barrel performing at its peak. This mechanical cleaning brush features premium phosphor bronze bristles constructed around a durable, twisted steel core shank. The multi-directional scrubbing action of the bronze bristles quickly loosens and extracts stubborn lead, carbon, powder, and copper fouling from inside the barrel. Because phosphor bronze has a lower hardness rating than barrel steel, it safely removes baked-on deposits without scratching or degrading the delicate internal rifling of your firearm.

This product is supplied as the "HP1305AP" bulk package, which includes 10 individual brushes. This bulk pack is highly practical for high-volume shooters and gunsmiths who regularly wear out cleaning brushes. Designed for the Australian shooting sports market, this non-electrical accessory is fully compatible with standard rifle cleaning rods sold nationwide, utilizing the universal imperial thread pattern.

Key Features

Who is the Hoppes Bore Brush Bronze Rifle .338 Cal 8mm for?

• High-volume shooters — who maintain .338 calibre or 8mm rifles and require a bulk 10-pack supply of Hoppe's phosphor bronze bore brushes to frequently replace worn components during routine barrel maintenance.
• Professional gunsmiths — who service large-calibre firearms and rely on the precise 8-32 male threading of these Hoppe's rifle bore brushes to ensure seamless compatibility with standard Australian bench cleaning rods.

Less suitable for: shooters maintaining smaller firearms (such as .30 calibre or 7mm rifles) where this brush will bind and jam, or larger firearms (such as .375 calibre or 9mm rifles) where the bristles cannot provide sufficient contact tension; it is also unsuitable for use with aggressive ammonia-based copper solvents which chemically degrade bronze, requiring a nylon bore brush instead.
