Where to get Bronze Brushes for Cleaning 500 Barrels?

[GNote]

Hello all. Had a 500 in the 4inch verisonand now it needs to be cleaned before I take it out. Where can I find a brush to clean the barrel? I tried the local walmart but they don't have. Please let me know.

Thank you!

We used to use 20 gauge shotgun brushes for 50 cal muzzle loaders, should work with the S&W 500

A 28ga would be a closer fit. 28ga is .550 a 20 (I think) is .615 - .630

If you can locate a .52 caliber brush in your local gunstore they work perfectly. Look in the muzzleloading section under Knight equipment. I have one of their .52's and know the brushes can be a little hard to find sometimes, so when you see them, stock up.

I purchased 50 cal bronze brushes from either Champions Choice or Champions Shooters Supply.
