Cleaning with a bore snake??
I have a 12ga. slug gun, and I bought a bore snake to clean it with when I am at the range. I figured it would be faster than doing a full clean on it, it would remove the fouling, and I could do a detailed cleaning when I got home.
The isntructions just say to pull the snake through though, no solution or anything. Is that right? Does anyone have any experience with using these? Any advice?

I saw a new company that put out a cleaning process that is a 12ga round that has the cleaning solution and cleaning pad in the bullet itself. I think I saw it in field and steam...seemed like a great idea.

I put a small amount of gun oil on the leading edge of the bore snake and pull it through a couple of times after a days hunt especially when it is snowing or raining.

I use mine inbetween good cleanings and on the road trips. I fill the barrel with a foaming cleaner, let sit a few min and then pull through several times. gets the job done.
