I use nylon with steel core with a patch because the bronze with brass core gives a false positive with the Bore Tech CU +2

Use bronze brush with Hoppes on a patch.

I generally like a bronze for cleaning lead. I use the nylon typically when I am cleaning copper. montana Xtreme and a few of the other copper cleaners chew up the bronze brushes fast. I buy all my brushes from sinclair in the sizes they have avalable. I would love for them to make them for big bores......

Depends on the barrel finish and your cleaning effectivness.

If you have a custom match grade, hand-lapped barrel and clean regularly, a nylon brush will work well if you use a good copper solvent like Barnes CR-10, Sweets 7.62 or Bore-Tech Eliminator.

If you have a rough factory barrel that isn't properly fire-lapped, it is going to accumulate lots of copper. If you don't clean often enough it can take a strong solvent and a bronze brush to get at it.
