Query: BoreSnake not for .17 HMR

The Hoppe's .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) BoreSnake is too large for a .17 HMR rifle. WAY TOO THICK....Instead use a Tipton's 36" carbon rod with patches. I previously purchased two Hoppe's BoreSnakes for my .22 Match LR and .223 bolt. These works great --- Tight enough to clean barrel while wrapping snake around hand and pulling hard. On the range a boresnake quickly return weapon to sub MOA shooting. This .17 boresnake will be used with Butch's oil and a couple .17 patches for field cleaning otherwise it is a waste of money.
