For .300 Blackout?

A regular 5.56mm chamber brush.

The front bit will get deformed slightly as it will go into the throat more, but it's the best fit.

I've just been using a bore snake. No brush.

As stated once already, use a 5.56 chamber brush on a 300bo.

I use a 9mm/380 nylon bore brush. Double duty.

For the CHAMBER, I would assume it is a standard 5.56 chamber brush. Since the .300blk uses a reformed 5.56 case, it should use the same chamber brush.
For the BORE, a .308 cal brush or bore snake.

Yep, if you accidentally load a .300 into a 5.56, it will fit into the chamber without issue. That's why a lot of kaboom happens in that regard. I'd imagine if you put a 5.56 mm chamber brush in there, it would work just as well.

Shotgun brushes........

The "chamber brush" is an expensive solution to a problem that doesn't exist imho....

A 300 blackout is a 5.56/.223 necked up to .30. That means the chamber is the same diameter as a 5.56... so a 5.56 chamber brush is the correct size. There is no way a .308 chamber brush would fit. A .308 case is larger than a 5.56/.223 so yeah, I'mg guessing people didn't read your question well and assumed you meant what size bore brush.

A 9mm bore brush is also about the same diameter as a 5.56/.223 chamber so that was also a legitimate answer.
