Thanks: Razor18

This may not be the answer your looking for but i use a .284 dia. jag for my .308's. The .308 jag is way to hard to push down the bore unless its clean and dry then it will go down. If its the least bit dirty its like trying to push a car...

Hope this helped,
Nathan.

+1 I do the same thing.(Use smaller jags so I can use double or triple patches )

Multiple patches fit the bore better and in my opinion clean better.

Go at least 1 size down and you will have better a feel of the condition of the bore.

Thanks for the info Guys !

nddodd, did you write down the caliber diameter, what you use, or did you in fact measure the phisical diameter. Just asking, because you mentioned .308 jag, which has obviously smaller diameter than .308", otherwise you could push it in at all.

I want to make one myself, cause the jags I could buy online from the states have imperial thread, and my cleaning rod has metric thread. Anyway which one is better in your opinion, the slotted one or the one with the spear tip?

Thanks: Razor18

Hey Razor18, I'm so sorry for not getting back to you sooner I had a couple of family matters I had to see to and just lost track I'm sorry. The .308 jag on my calipers at largest was .254 in dia., I hope this helps again I apologize for the delay.
