Tipton vs Hoppes bore brush - 09/23/18 11:10 PM
I'm a dinosaur, I've been using Hoppes products since the 70's. mainly because they have been around forever and seems to work well. A year or so ago having bought more pistols and rifles I bought a kit of Tipton brushes and jags over the internet along with other stuff. I've been trying to improve my cleaning and maintenance of my "toys".I know some will say don't fix it if it aint broke and others will say " are you still using "THAT". I question or observation recently is that while using Hoppes #9 and brush my bores clean up quickly, however using #9 and a Tipton brush I continually get a dirty patch. I have used nylon brushes but don't trust them as much and think of them as an overkill fad.
My question whats the difference between the two bronze brushes and what do you folks use. I have also used some gunslick copper remover but am not convinced it's needed.
