If you try to put sweets, or CR10 on them and clean, you will end up with a big mess. If you don't keep with dish washing liquid to get out the powder residue, your basically dragging the same crap thru a gun.
I also agree. I should have elaborated on how I use my bore snake to further assist the thread starter.
I run my snakes dry. I've probably used my snakes maybe 5 times each. Like I said just in those times where cleaning isn't easy or you just want to dry the bore and knock and loose stuff out of there.
