To you guys, that shoot smoke in your Cartirdge Rifles!

AJ,

At an auction I bought just the tool for yer problem.  It's a cane with a BIG A$$ed magnet on the end.  For us mature folks so we don't have to bend over!  I just wish I had one that would find brass in the grass!!

I did the cartridge-in-the-chamber-to-catch-the-crud thing and got the cleaning jag caught in the case. Had to unscrew the tip and eject the cartridge so now I just keep the gun upside down, action open, and clean away. Mine's a '92 Puma 357.

Don't use the cleaning jag.  Use the slotted tip and patch(s).
