Should I Use a Bore Snake?

Welcome to the Ron Spomer Outdoors Podcast!

Stay away from bore snakes. They're the worst pit viper you've ever come across. Now, a bore snake is not an actual reptile. A bore snake is a device for cleaning out your rifle barrel. And it's just this long cable. And they will usually have an ever-increasing diameter of material for scouring out your bore. Some of them will have bristles on them, copper bristles sticking out. And what it's supposed to do is clean your barrel in one sweep. So instead of putting on a traditional patch and/or bore brush and using your solvents and taking each process through, you use this, and it does everything in one pass. You know, they work pretty well for a quick cleanup. But it's certainly not what you want for a complete and thorough barrel cleaning. When you really, really wanna clean your barrel, go to the old rod technique because that's the one that definitely does the job.

Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.
