[QUOTE="Biggs300, post: 1262010, member: 31342"] I only use a bore snake on my shotguns after a shooting a round of skeet or sporting clays in the field and usually do a more thorough cleaning afterwards. I do not use them on any of my rifles. I use a Dewey coated cleaning rod for my 45-70's and a Tipton Max Force carbon fiber rod on the remainder of my rifles. The Tipton works great with Dewey bore guides. For cleaning my rifles at the range, I use a Otis cleaning kit (works similar to a bore snake). I'm sure most of you know that bore snakes can be washed. I soak mine in the sink with regular dish detergent for 30 minutes or so, rinse and air dry. I do add a couple of drops of oil around the brush section after rinsing. I do this a couple of times a year depending on how much I shoot. [/QUOTE]
