[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1589898, member: 69192"] I think that Bore Snakes have a purpose for the hunter/shooter, and could be used to break in a barrel, however I believe that there are a lot better choices than a Bore Snake. As others have recommended get a Dewey or Tipton carbon fiber rod or coated rod. "Once" your barrel is broken in, perhaps the Bore Snake would be a portable choice to clean powder or residue out, however if you have the ability to use the carbon fiber rod there's less chance of damaging your barrel. If I'm in the field I always have an Otis portable cleaning kit (with the appropriate jags that I am hunting with inside) in my backpack in case the rifle gets dropped and the end of the barrel becomes obstructed.
