It seems that the GunSlick jags are getting very mixed reviews, with several of them breaking. I ended up ordering the Hoppe’s versions after reading the feedback & reviews on several sites.

I am a long time high power competitor and I hold multiple High Master classifications. I read with interest and amusement the statement about “over cleaning” a rifle.I had a very regimented cleaning procedure that I was absolutely convinced was efficient and effective derived from my many years of cleaning my competition rifles.
One evening in competitor housing at the Whittington Center, several competitors were discussing how each cleaned their rifle. Well with great bravado and arrogance I assured all that would listen that my rifles were clean and my cleaning methods were superior to all others.
Well, a very good friend brought out his bore scope and said that we might should have a look inside those clean barrels.
YEP…you probably have guessed that neither barrel was clean!! I gasped when I viewed the image as the scope glided up and down those Palma barrels.I was …er..humbled to say the least!

I now use the bore scope EVERY time I clean the rifles to be sure that they are clean. Each cleaning may take a little more or a little less work to get the barrel clean…and only if you peer inside the hallowed tube will you know for sure!! Trust me!

The copper proof jags are a great idea, but I have to wonder why they are all oversize for caliber?

I’ve tried Tipton, Dewey & Bore Tech & everytime I use them I must use one size smaller cleaning patches. What was “normal” for a 6mm ( 1 3/8″) is now too large & I must use 22 cal patches that are 1 1/8″.

Just had the same problem with a new 30 cal. chambering.

Boretech has been making an aluminium-alloy jag for a while now.. Proof-positive jags.

I have no experience with the Tipton jags mentioned in your review, but it’s worth noting that, depending on application conditions, nickel plating can be much harder than steel. In fact, that’s a frequent use — a hard, wear-resistant coating.
