Hoppe’s Elite Pierce Point Cleaning Jag

The Hoppe’s Elite Pierce Point Cleaning Jag is a precision gun‑maintenance accessory engineered to improve bore cleaning performance. Made from sturdy brass with Hoppe’s Elite system compatibility, this jag uses a pointed “pierce point” tip to secure cleaning patches and push them through the barrel for a more thorough surface contact during cleaning sessions. Designed to work with standard cleaning rods, it’s a compact and dependable tool for firearm maintenance.

Key Features

Pierce‑Point Design

• Features a pointed tip that helps puncture and secure a cleaning patch for a tight, centered fit — encouraging more effective contact with the bore surface.

Durable Brass Construction

• Brass body combines strength with resistance to corrosion and bending, helping withstand repeated cleaning cycles.

Standard Thread Compatibility

• Threaded to fit most common cleaning rod systems — including Hoppe’s Elite rods — for reliable attachment and smooth operation.

Caliber‑Specific Fit

• This model is sized for .338‑caliber and 9 mm bores, ensuring patches fit snugly and deliver consistent cleaning performance.

Performance & Practical Use

Hoppe’s Elite Pierce Point Cleaning Jag is built to enhance the quality of bore maintenance compared with basic slotted jags. The sharply tapered tip is designed to grab and center a folded cleaning patch, improving contact with both lands and grooves in the bore. This increases the effectiveness of solvent application and debris removal when running patches down the barrel.

The brass construction resists corrosion and provides enough rigidity to push patches through tight fouling without bending. When attached to a compatible cleaning rod, this jag supports a smooth cleaning motion from chamber to muzzle. Regular use after shooting sessions helps maintain accuracy and prolongs firearm life by keeping corrosive residue from accumulating.

Best Suited For:

✔ Routine firearm bore cleaning
✔ Shooters who prefer patch‑based rod cleaning methods
✔ Hunters, competition shooters, and range users
✔ Maintenance of .338 chambered rifles and 9 mm pistols

User Tips

Patch Preparation:
Use patches sized to match your caliber and fold them evenly before piercing with the jag tip — inconsistent fold sizes can reduce cleaning efficiency.

Rod Compatibility:
While Hoppe’s Elite rods work seamlessly with these jags, most standard 8‑32 threaded rods will also be compatible (except some very small caliber pieces).

Solvent Application:
Apply a bore solvent to the patch before pushing it through the bore; the pierce point design helps distribute the fluid evenly along the barrel’s surface.

Cleaning Order:
For best results, start with solvent‑soaked patches, then follow with dry patches until they exit clean. Finish with a light protective oil patch if storing the firearm.
