Yes, you keep dragging the same dirt and grit through the bore. and over the crown.

How do you tell if you've actually cleaned enough with one of these contraptions? Just because you're bore is nice and shiny doesn't mean squat.

Another very valid reason for using the proper tooling to clean bores.

I actually do use a bore snake in my shotguns after an extended clay busting shoot. Like yourself, I clean it with warm water and dish soap upon getting home. Definitely not in Rifle bores though.

I also use a bore snake for shotguns, since there is no rifling and the crown isn't nearly as critical as with a rifle.
