I've used boresnakes in everything from 5mm up to 12ga., they work just fine for my normal level of bore gunk. I usually flood the chamber/bore with some "special sauce" made up of half Hoppes *9 and half Kroil, let it sit for a while, and then give it several passes with the boresnake. On the "man, that was a lot of ammo!" days, I still give it a bit of rod and patch work, especially with some JB bore compound.
I think the real point here is: Clean it with something you like, and check the bore after you're done...
