boresnakes are great for shotgun barrels, not so great for a rifled barrel.

I think folks are confusing the uses for a snake. Or maybe I am. I don't look at it as a end results cleaning tool. It's not something you'd have on your cleaning station but it is a handy, mind-easer to have in your pocket when you're going afield. I don't know where you folks are getting all this dirt and grit from? are you dragging it along behind you? Mine is coiled up in a baggie in my pocket or day pack.
I've never used one to put oil or any sort of bore cleaner in my barrel.
So you are "in effect" pulling a dry bronze brush through your bore.
Dirt and grit on bench tops from cheap sand bags. Your snake never lays on bench top?

"your snake never lies on a bench top" Actually, no. If I am shooting from a bench, I have along a one piece rod, solvents, jags, oils, patches, portable cleaning station and so forth. And the rod is wiped off right before I push it through the bore.
"you're pulling a dry bronze brush thru your bore?" The brush is bronze, the barrel is steel. If I'm shooting a long string from the bench for practice or what have you, it's not unheard of me pushing a dry brush thru the bore to break up some of the accumulated carbon and follow it with a couple of dry patches and go back to shooting.
