What is the opinion of the Bore Snake for cleaning barrels?
I have great results with them. They come in different sizes. Very easy to use. When they get worn out,just buy another.They work well with all kinds of solvents. Since they have no rod,there is nothing to scape the side of the bore, muzzle crown or chamber. I admit they are best for bores that are in pretty good shape. If I get a gun that is very dirty or leaded up,the old elbow grease with a brass brush and bore guide is best. After the initial cleaning ,I just use the snake for routine cleaning.Since I use FMJ ammo,no leading issues. My .02 Bob

Getting back on topic (something I rarely do), I often buy a brass bristled brush one size larger than the nominal caliber...For instance, if I have a 357 magnum revolver, I'll buy a 40 cal bore brush...I just like the extra tension the larger size applies to the bore...
