Hi, I have been kinda fed up with trying to clean guns with patches and cleaning rods and I am always told if you don't be careful or use this or that wrong thingy, you will scratch up your barrel. Also, it is rather time consuming and tedious using the cleaning rod.
I would like to hear what preferences people have in regards to using a bore snake as opposed to or in alernation with a cleaning rod. Are bore snakes really less effective than cleaning rods? How long does an average bore snake last you before you have to replace it? Would most people agree bore snakes allow for faster cleaning that should be almost as efective as a cleaning rod? I was considering getting a whole set of various caliber bore snakes for my rifles and pistols. I was told you can use your rifle bore snakes in your pistols, but not revolvers. Maybe, I can purchase some pistol bore snakes for my revolvers too.
Anyone have any feelings of Hoppes Bore Snake brand, or bore snakes in general?
Thanks.
