so yesterday I bought a Remington 700 30-06. I bought the cleaning supplies this morning. some one told me to clean it before I shoot it and after every shot for the first 5 shots to break in the barrel

I am having trouble getting the cleaning patch through (did not want to force it.) the brush fits so does the jag but not the jag with a patch the brush took a little force.

the rod is for 27-45 cal

the brush is 30 cal

patches are 30-44 cal

I cant find the box for the jag to confirm but will keep looking

also tried it with out the bore guide and it still did not fit
