My Question is I have a Hoppes Bore snake brand new (24018D) that is for .35 - .375 Caliber. I'd be curious on your thoughts on whether this would be appropriate. I know most are saying to use a .357 or 9mm but I'd like an opinion from someone who uses them on their 350L. Since the bullet is a .355 I'm thinking it may be ok.
New to the board so thanks you for your comment in advance.
The bore for the .350 Legend is the same groove and bore diameter as any .357mag on the market.
A brush spec’d for .35-.375” bores might be very tight in a 35cal bore, regardless of whether that’s a Legend or not. Might take a few passes to break the brush down enough for smoother, easier pulls.
