    And only collects about a square inch of crap before it's full, and then you're dragging it through the barrel.
    How many square inches make up a bore snake?
    I'm not knocking bore brushes at all. Whatever works for each individual.
    They are just not in my wheelhouse.

    Actually, I'm pushing patches through the barrel.
    It also pushes the liquid bore cleaner that's in the barrel in front of it, and out the end of the barrel verse being collected on a rope.
    And then I replace the patch and do it again, and repeat as necessary.Then I wet brush it again and push a few new patches through it again. I'm not pushing and pulling the same bore-snake down the barrel 2-3-4 times.
    It doesn't interest me to do that to my rifles.

    The next problem with bore-snake is, I tend to use Montana Ammonia Bore cleaner, it eats
    brass/copper brushes. It will be worthless in a short period of time with using an Ammonia based cleaner. If it has plastic bristles it will not clean like a copper or brass brush will.
