I've got an old Swedish mauser bolt action carbine in 6.5 and was wondering what size brush you would use to clean the barrel. I never seem to find any 6.5 brushes so is there a differnet round that is about the same size? Thanks for the help.

270 works just fine...

a .257 brush would be easier to use
6.5mm=.255 ''

6.5=.264 so it's a tweener in the middle of .257 and 270 (.277). The 270 would be the best choice until you can get a 6.5. Midway has 6.5 brushes made by Tipton in the flyer I just looked thru.
Hope this helps

OH! I'll have to look thru my Midway catalog that I just got also. Thanks! And everyone else thank you for your help! I love these forums.

If you go to the Dewey site, you can get brushes, jags, and pretty much anything else for 6.5mm rifles and other slightly less common calibers.
