That is the one thing I was concerned about with the Boresnake so I phoned Sharpshooter (mfg) and asked about that. Their explanation was that the body of the Boresnake is very loosely woven so the any particles that could potentially cause bore damage would be forced under pressure in to the woven material long before any bore damage could occur. That kind of made sense to me. I dunno, but that appears to be the case. They also recommended washing after a few uses.
