No, not on the Mother F'n plane.
Gawd I love these things, whoever designed them should have won the Nobel Prize instead of that Al Gore hack.
They make cleaning of multiple weapons a breeze and will clean similar chamberings without having to swap brushes and gear.
Heck, a 7.62 will also do 7mm, 30.06, the AK, etc...
The .223/5.56 will also do 22, S,L,LR, Magnum also.
And lets not forget it will let you hit some of those harder or impossible to clean from the breech weapons like revolvers and the notorious 10-22.
Mind you that if you look at almost all cleaning kits they focus on cleaning the weapon's bore and that's what the snake is all about WITHOUT the fuss of trying to find the right length rod and correct brush.
They also function in the manner that weapons are meant to be cleaned, from the breech out, and in one direction only.
And when they get dirty, just wait till the wife is gone and run it through the washer.
You also get that smell of Hoppes permeating your clothes for the next 3 wash cycles, and that will really seperate you from those Metrosexuals that think Febreeze is what a man should smell like!
So tonight I drink to the Bore Snake and it's inventor.

Got several of them in different calibers in the gun box GS808:D Actually bought one of each caliber for the calibers I has several years ago back east.

Don't use em as often as not, but they serve well where hard to reach chambers are concerned like that 10/22 you mention.;)

I've used them exclusively for several years now... they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, IMO.

Certainly beats the crap out of running 30-40 patches through the bore!
