I keep having brass stick in my chamber (Savage Model 10BA-LE) after firing and after researching I am thinking I just need to give the chamber a good cleaning with a short rod, a bronze brush and my drill. Then probably some simichrome on a mop to polish it. So I am ordering some AR10 .308 chamber brushes but I am wondering what size bore mop would work. (They are about half the cost of a "chamber mop".) A .308 case measures about .460-.470 in diameter so I am thinking a .45-.50 cal bore mop? Does that sound right or will it be too big?

Any difference between using a cotton mop and a wool mop?

Any issues with using a drill with a chamber brush to do this?
