Good evening everyone.
I just wanted to let anyone know who is interested in Hoppe’s Bore Snakes. I purchased one tonight from Cabela’s and ran it through my Weatherby (7mm Remington Magnum) for kicks. I was skeptical but as it turns out, it does a very good job!
Anyone have any similar experiences? Do they seem to differ in performance between different calibers? They seem to do as good a job as my rod and brushes (at least for crud that isn’t too baked on – no tests of a filthy rifle yet). If this is the case, I may just buy one for my shotgun as well.
Also any tips for these? I didn’t use any oil on the snake, and ended up using a patch and then a dry patch to put a light coat of Rem Oil in the barrel. The instructions never mentioned anything about oiling, so would it be fine to use a bit of oil before / after the brushes on the Bore Snake?
Thanks again!
Tristan
