Pro-Shot ProductsSpear Tip .338 Cal. Jag

Product is well made and does what it was designed to do. I had to get some thinner patches as this one fills the bore a bit more than the plastic one I had from a previous supplier.

At first glance it appears the jag is to small for a 12 gauge bore. There is a lot of room in the barrel around the jag making it appear to be a better fit for a 16 gauge than a 12 gauge. This perception is false. Draping a 3" patch over the jag results in a lot of slack inside the barrel. Used this way the jag is loose as a goose. You can not just drape the patch over the jag if you want it to work well. The problem of extra play is based solely on how you place the patch on the jag. Do NOT drape a single layer patch over the jag and expect a tight fit. That will NOT happen. People applying the patch incorrectly has resulted in reviews that improperly claim the 12 gauge jag is undersized. It is the correct size when the patch is folded prior to use.The patch has to be folded in half then folded in half again. This results is a nice tight and yes, thicker square patch about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". When this twice folded patch is pushed through the bore on the jag the result is a tight bore fit. By folding the patch into a smaller square the patch becomes thicker which fills the bore as expected. The end result is a tight fit. The patch holds onto the jag forward and backwards in the barrel.The downside of using a jag after having already cleaned your barrel with a normal loop and patch is the jag removes a lot more dirt from the barrel. The barrel you thought was clean before using a jag will be proven to still be dirty after using the jag as a follow up cleaning tool. You may need to use more patches but you will end up with a truly clean barrel.I recommend getting one of these as the price is fair, it is USA made (a HUGE plus), and it cleans much better than a loop ever will.This part is for a shotgun. It does require a shotgun rod or an adapter to use the normal size cleaning rods. If you do not have an adapter or a shotgun rod with the larger thread buy one when you get this."Pro Shot shotgun jags have a No. 5/16-27 thread, and can be used on a rifle rod with a shotgun adapter"To use this jag on a smaller rifle cleaning rod you will need something like this:https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Clean-Technologies-Shotgun-Adapter/dp/B074N91Z3Q/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=shotgun+adapter&qid=1574456551&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-3or you can buy a purpose made shotgun rod like this:https://www.amazon.com/Shotgun-Cleaning-Universal-Standard-Thrreads/dp/B06XPLGL5K/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=shotgun+adapter&qid=1574456551&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-11The only possible downside is this jag being made of brass may react to your cleaner resulting in a false positive for copper fouling. The proper paint being applied would protect the brass from being affected by cleaning solvents. Brass being stronger than plastic makes this a great choice.P.S. If you have a full choke shotgun I do not know how this will fit.

Excellent jag for cleaning my 12 gauge. Forms a good seal with standard cleaning patches without being too hard to push through, and brass won't scratch the iron.

Works great for my shotgun. I love using jags as they seem to remove more fouling per pass with their tighter fit. Additionally I can use smaller patches which helps stretch my cleaning materials further, especially with 12 GA.

Never used a Jag before I'm kinda of old school when it comes to gun cleaning. Learned everything from my Grandpa back in the mid-20th century..and of course on old guns..My grandpa and my dad were raised in northern Minn. end of 19th and early 20th century where you had to hunt to eat..I didn't have to and still don't hunt but still shoot..ENOUGH ALREADY. I saw videos on experts using Jags when cleaning..So when I got my semi-auto shotgun for skeet I thought I'd try a different and more modern way of cleaning. So I purchased a bore snake and this Jag.. The jag works great and a little less hassle than threading the needle. It covers the bore all at once very nice..I will definitely purchase more Jags for my other rifles.

Highly recommended, I don’t bother buying any other brands of cleaning hardware because ProShot is priced well and always delivers

works well

Over the years, I have bought different brands of cleaning jags. These Pro-Shot Jags with the "SPEAR Tip" are always the ones that I reach for -- the Spear Tip makes it easier for me to impale the cleaning Patch onto the jag, & it has a better chance of NOT falling off before I can get it where I want it.BTW -- I also use Pro-Shot PATCHES, & they work well, too. I find that they are a little thinner than Butch's Patches, & sometimes that is what is needed to fit the bore precisely. I like to fit the patch very tightly to the bore, & I'll usually start out using a few Pro-Shot patches. After some of the fouling has been removed, I find that the thicker Butch's patches will then usually go in, providing a VERY tight fit.
