That is an understatement Mr F.

I have never used a BoreSnake but I was just looking on MidwayUSA and the one .17 they have is a .17 & .204 so it is more likely for a .177 than a .172.

The last time I tried to get a .17/.204 brush into an HMR bore it was like trying to get an elephant to copulate with a mouse.

I do have a .17 Hoppe brush but my favorite brushes are Dewey.
