Back in the old days some one decided to cram a piece of A$$ wipe down the barrel of a rifle to hold powder in place. I imagine there were hardliners then that said much the same as I am reading here. Snakes I feel, are great for at the range during break-in shooting that new rifle you got. After a few uses soak in hot water with a bit of soap and dry thoroughly then use it again. +1 for every tool having its place. I will however say that bore snakes are a bit pricy for what they are and what they do and how easily they can be lived without. Just my thoughts on it.
