I like it when guys are dead sure its clean and then ten minutes with the foul out 3 cooking it pulls copper.
Truth of the matters is, no joke. There is a point in my expirience when a barrel is over cleaned. I try to do the deep scrubbing as little as possible.

If my bore snake hadn't broken the first, third, and fourth and last time I tried it in my .223 I would use them. If I'm gonna throw my money away I'd buy nice things for my dog.
I hope you took it back! I have 6 or 7 and never had any problems with them. Did you have the right 22 cal snake? I know guys that have broke the one they had trying to run a 30 cal threw a .27. The bore snakes are way to tight to do that with.

With your taste in tubes, you should not have to scrub. Factory tubes can collect copper like a crackhead in a scrap yard.

A dirty gun is a happy gun. At sniper school we just took our mud caked guns in the shower with us...

Sure is! That was the mental game. Rather than for the benefit of the firearms, but it does work wonders. What was her name? ;)

My idea against bore snakes for full bore cleaning is that wire brushes break down and need do be replaced. so its much cheaper to replace a 1.99$ wire bore brush and it seems like patches are free than a $15.00 bore snake replaced at the same rate. I see advantages for a quick bore wipe in the field to get the rain water out of your barrel, but when it's most important in the field you cant use a bore snake anyways because when it's most important is when you have a blockage from jamming your muzzle and that little brass on the end of the bore snake string isnt going to push out a blockage.
I'm with Addicted on this one. I'll use bore snakes for a quick cleanout after a day at the range, but a good cleaning rod is with me when I'm in the field.
Oh, and Hoppes #9 and a shot of foaming cleaner when I'm done with the Hoppe's to catch anything I might have missed. I also like a full jag, not the slotted kind that you've got to thread the cleaning patch into.

If the saying "This is my rifle, this is my gun,..." is true, I'm not sure you weren't scaring your fellowclass mates with you holding your "gun" in the shower. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

just bought a 20 dollar bottle of montana x-treme copper killer
alos picked up a bunch of nylon brushes and bore guides from midway usa, was going to go through all my old guns with this stuff. I've never used a copper solvent before :dunno: always just hoppes #9
then most of my guns are handmedowns deer rifles so I'm sure the bores were good n fouled before I got them.
I might be shocked eh? or will I ruin my bores?
picked up a new remmy 700 sps in .243 was going to do the proper bore break in proceedure see if I like it
