that is how they work- they can feel overly tight. You can always drop down to the next lower caliber and use that sized snake but you aren't causing any damage running tight cloth over steel. What drives me nuts are the cleaning jags. The proper caliber jag will only work with the tiniest of patches and I am forever getting them stuck in the throat, having to ram a rod down the muzzle (yikes) to get it out. In the end it probably does more harm than good but bore-snake, no worries. You will find a method of holding the barrel and pulling that works and stick with it.
