I just bought a bore snake to clean my .22 pistols. I'm curious of a couple things: 1. do you clean the bore snake too? It seems that by continuously adding the oil and pulling it through so many times that you are adding dirty to dirty.... if so, what is the recommended method of cleaning the bore snake or do you just throw it out and buy another one? I shoot twice a week and run the bore snake through every other shoot. Do you think that's too much?
