Has anyone here used a Hoppes boresnake?

I like bore snakes too but they do not get a barrel as clean as the rod/patches technique. Try using the bore snake and then patches, you will see quite a bit more stuff come out.

Don't get me wrong though. When I am feeling lazy I use them and like them alot.

Thats because the grime you pick up the first time through isn't cleaned off during any subsequent passes. If you washed it in between passes it would probably be better than using patches. But that would just be silly! I often use the snake for its brushing ability then run a couple patches to dry at the end.
 
i put a bit of hoppes on the cloth part just before the brush, then rip it through once or twice and its clean and shiny
