team tractor Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I was told tonight that a bore snake on the hmr can / will damage the crown . This is the first I've ever heard of this but he said it rounds the end of spines ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 If you clean hmr's as little as .22lr's I can't see it doing any damage. I pull trough my .22lr probably twice maybe three times a year. Usually when I buy a new brick of ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Or mine, the idea of rope wearing metal is a little strange to me. Normally rumours started by people who haven't used one. You can do more damage with a rod far easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulliewinky Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Only problem with .17 boresnake is getting the weight through the barrel, I push a patch through first then the boresnake goes through no bother. I put a bit oil on end of boresnake material as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
