No real "rocket science" in my thinking. Gentle as I can do, with whatever tool I may have in any situation. The cleaning goes from breech to muzzle. Pulling "whatever tool" back the other way is not an option!
For example; I wont pull a brush back from the muzzle. I will take it off at the muzzle and extract the rod,re-attach it and push it through again (after wiping clean). All should go "downstream" I believe.
I don't own a boresnake (yet). I have gifted a few though. I wonder some about the second pass with this tool? Maybe is not needed?
A clean,stainless, one-piece rod with a "just-right" sized patch is my prefered method.
