That a boresnake, while useful for what it is, and is quick and convenient, is no replacement for a good cleaning with a rod, brush, and jag.
While a boresnake may get rid of the unburnt powders and other debris in the barrel, it doesn't do any good with copper fouling. I took the rod to the Mauser this morning, and this is what came out of the barrel, and this is only a few patches:
So while the snake is nice, the rod does so much better.
