Martyn4802 is spot on with his reply.

I use a snake at the range and a good rod and brushes at home for my centerfire rifles and pistols. Any rifle or pistol that can leave copper fouling or lead deposits should get a good brushing and cleaning on a regular basis.

My .22s get a few passes with a bore snake and then they are lightly lubed. .22 ammo leaves so little lead that I have found little to be gained by the whole bore brush/ cleaning rods and strict cleaning routine for rimfires.
