My old 22 bore hadn't been cleaned for about 35yrs,had thousands of rds down it,still was shooting deadly accurate.Came across a 22 bore snake in a gun shop for it.Went and dropped weighted end thru and slowly pulled snake thru,was firm,tightish and jammed.About 1/3 of the way thru she was jammed tight.grrr.My 140kg builders frame couldn't move the snake head,fk that's tight..So put it in a vice vertically,squirted down a lot of CRC,left in vice for a couple of days.Then gave the string end a good slow pull and it came out.The snake was real dirty and black.lols
I reckn if you haven't cleaned yr rifle bore for a long time or many shots.Use the next size down,in bore snake or cleaning rod n bushs for 1st couple of pushs,pulls thru bore then use yr correct size.Just a thort.
