I am trying to condense my accessories and was wondering if a .308 rifle bore snake will work in a .357 magnum and 9mm pistol?

I own a .308 and 9mm. The snake works great in both but I don't own a .357. Hope this helps

Size-wise, it would. Diameter is pretty close. But the length of the rifle snake might present some difficulties in a revolver. It's just a little more cramped dragging that extra 30 inches or so through the barrel and past the frame.

You should have no problem using the .30 Cal snake, it should do the job for you without any problems. I own one bore snake in .30 cal and I use it on my 30-06, my old 30-30 and for my old Korean War Enfield No.4 MK1 Bolt action Carbine, and that rifle is chambered in .303British and I found it to work the best on my .303. You don't want the snake real tight while in the bore but it should be snug and then you yank her threw not to fast or not to slow. The .30 cal or 7.62mm Hoppe's Bore snakes work on these calibers listed, .300, .30-06, .30-30, .308win, and .303British. I hope that helps a bit stay safe and keep on shooting!

If you are looking for a hoppe's viper snake then this one is made for that caliber: http://www.amazon.com/Hoppes-24003V-BoreSnake-Revolver-Cleaner/dp/B006THNYVK/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1418615995&sr=1-1&keywords=24003&pebp=1418615999147

The Tumbler works great with all types of casing...,being .223 is one of the smaller rifle casing you will still have that issue...But fewer casing...I do combination water formula with hand full of zinc plated BBs,then cob to really polish the cases if even needed...check U-tube for some great videos on the subject...!!!

Yes... Attached is from Lee's website, reference the .38 Sp die set...Note: you may use the 38 Special die set to reload for the 357 Mag. You would have to back out the Powder Thru Expander Die, and the Bullet Seating and Crimping Die about 2 turns to compensate for the longer 357 case.

No and yes. The bore snakes have brass brushes that are caliber specificYou can run a 9mm through a .45 bore but it would do a poor job.

Yes. What you have is for a .40S&W; or 10mm pistol. It will be undersized for a .44 or a .45 cal weapon.

.357 is 9.652mm which is larger than 7.62mm Mosin ammo. Obviously they won't be loose. However, as the other post mentions, the 357 shells may be a bit short. However, it has a big pouch that you can just put a bunch of them in instead anyway (unless you were thinking of putting the 357 in there and using it as a carry pouch. I suppose that might work to some extent, but seems that there are better products made specifically to do that.)

I do 5.56 with it and I believe it also will do the .308. mine came with two swag sizes. I'm 90% sure this will do both of your casings.

I would recommend lubing 308 casings and not so much with the 9mm as they are so small. If the 308s have been through a tumbler for polishing and there is still wax on them, the wax will work as a lubricant and wont need additional lube if you are not producing match grade ammo. I would not recommend substituting as this would not be safe for the reloader or the press . Hope this helps Shawn

I don't have a Ruger LCR 357, so I don't know the answer to your question. I can tell you I stuffed a S&M 357, what was that, a 621 maybe, into that pouch. But it was literally stuffed in there. I would not use that pouch to carry that 357 regularly. But, that's just me.

no, you need the .308 boresnake . Hoppe's 24011 BoreSnake Rifle Bore Cleaner, M-16, .22-.223 Caliber, 5.56mm then select .308.

Yes it will handle all of the calibers you listed. The only thing not included is a fabric bore snake. I don't use them so it's no big deal to me as there are plenty of brushes and rod extensions for long barrels. You should be good to go man.One other positive about this kit is that the brushes are a universal size so when the bristles get all gnarly and worn out you can go anywhere to find a replacement.

You can shoot both cal. With them. 357 is heavier and more difficult to be accurate with.
1182629
Yes. They make a Viper that covers the .308 to .30 calibers the item number is 24015V. It costs around $27.95 excluding shipping.

Is this tool a must, no not really, a bore snake could work and isn't bad for use in the field. Should you have one I would say yes. You will need to do a more thorough cleaning than a bore snake provides. Cleaning from the muzzle is a big no no. When it comes to cleaning a rifle you risk damaging the muzzle crown and affecting the accuracy of the barrel. Wheeler makes a nice little link that holds the upper and lower open and then with this guide it's a piece of cake to clean. It reduces the effort, time and mess involved for doing a proper cleaning all while protecting the accuracy of your barrel.
