jamie g 17 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 i use a boresnake never had any problems with the rifle using them. only clan mine when the accuracy go's off I get the impression jamie likes bore snakes, it's quite well known I think that I'm not a fan at all...but hey ...forums..that's what they are all about...a mixture of views and opinions i wouldnt use one on the centrefire inless i have only had a couple of shots then i would. the key to the boresnake is to make sure you pull it out level and not at a angle because it could rub the crown. i would never use a bronze brush in my rifles as i think they do more harm then good. nylon brushes on the other hand are perfect. the only reason i dont use a rod on rimfires is because they dont need the claning like centrefires do imo but i will get one soon for my hmr just because i think it is more easy then a boresnake That flippin HMR is a nightmare, I don't think there is an easy way to clean it, the hole is so small it's a real pain..and my rod for it cost £30!!! What a relief when I clean the larger calibres!! what rod have you got for your hmr deker ? is it the tipton carbon rod ? or a dewey ? Quote Link to post
