[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1307048, member: 38154"] I always have a bore-snake available when hunting, just as an emergency type item to try to clean the bore. I'm not sure if it can be used successfully as a barrel break-in cleaning tool. The idea is to clean the barrel between shots until the powder, carbon, and copper are removed before the next shot is fired. It is easy to tell when it is clean by seeing a clean patch come out . If you are using the bore-snake, the same item keeps going through the bore, so it would be difficult to tell when the barrel is clean. You are reintroducing all of the dirt and mess you removed from the bore on a previous pass by pulling it through the bore again. It is like using cleaning patches more than once, I don't do it (don't think too many people do). [/QUOTE]
