[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 581168, member: 2736"] I personally find it a good tool to have in the field. It will not clean as well as a good solvent and rod, but I use them a little different than some and they realy work for me. I have one for every rifle that I hunt with and I use them to clean the powder fouling after each shot. (When I shoot something I like to drag the bore snake through the bore so it is free of the powder fouling that is rough on the barrel when a shot is fired on top of it) and it is ready to use again if need be. I dont use any copper solvent on them I'm just trying to keep the barrel as clean as possible in the field. The next time you are at the range, shoot one shot, and use a clean dry patch to push through the bore and look at it. You will see all of the powder fouling that one shot causes. the snake will remove 90% of this with just one dry pull through the bore. Powder fouling is mostly carbon and very abrasive so I try to keep it to a minimum by using the bore snake. In bad weather it is a good idea to pull one through the bore before going hunting and then place a finger glove or balloon over the muzzle. Just the way I like to use the bore snake.
