brush and jag for 45-70

[peterk1234]

Are there any of these available for 45-70 or is everyone just using 45 caliber brushes and jags? I am using the 45 caliber ones but they fit a bit loose.

Thanks Pete

I use a .45 brush (long/ rifle profile) for my 45-70 Shiloh - it is a .45 bore and a .45 brush works great - I have no experience with a .45 brush being loose in a .45 bore unless the brush is worn out - I then simply replace the worn out unit with a new one.

I've been using 50 caliber brushes on 45 ACP and haven't had a problem. As far as jags go I bought an assortment of different size ones and just use what fits best for my purpose.

I use a .45 rifle brush with no issues.

Thank you. Time to try another 45 brush.

There's a difference between .45 cal pistol and rifle brushes besides the length.

I normally use a 20 ga shotgun brush on my 45/70 and the mops too, as well as the 45 acp.
