I was wondering what size bore snake and cleaning brush I should use on my 835...12 or 10 gauge?
Thanks

The brushes I get are marked 10/12 gauge. For the bore snake I am betting 10 gauge but I don't know for sure.

Would it hurt to pull a 10 gauge snake through an IC ,675 choke?

No problems with the 10 gauge bore snake and the IC .675. Have pulled it through many times.
