Late comer here: I don't want to say that I've "moved up" from Hoppe's #9, just bought a new bottle a couple of months ago, but I've come to like Break Free Powder Blast, and Safariland's version of Break Free CLP, for cleaning. I am a BIG fan of lubriplate! Started using it at work years ago, {retired Aircraft Mech. A&P AMT 36+yrs. at the "not-so-friendly-skys"}, it's all I use for case sizing lube. Lately I have been using either STOS lube (recommended by Ponsness-Warren, who made my wonderful #375 shot-shell loader); or FrogLube paste, out of Burlson, TX. So far, after a little over a year of use on my 2 pump shotguns, [a '50s Win 97, and a Browning BPS}, my wife's Browning Buckmark .22, that she lets me shoot {a lot}, a S&W M10V K frame, 2 Marlin levers, a Win. .22 bolt action and a '96 Mauser; I am very happy with them. Sometimes I'll rotate the lubriplate back in if I know that I'll be re-cleaning soon, it is a little easier to clean up.

Not steel. I have no idea where you got that idea.

Bronze bristles. Perfectly normal sane bore brush just in a slightly larger diameter because the camber bore is larger than the barrel bore.
