So iv had that happen before with my Ar so I went to my local surplus got 20 foot of thin para cord now all I do is tie brush heds to the cord and rip them through it works and not hard to do
I use about the same cleaning procedure as you on my MkII 22LR, with one difference.
After I let the solvent sit for a bit, I run another wet patch through, then switch to dry patches.
I don't have to exert any extra force with the dry patches.
The only other thing I can think of is your patches are too big/thick, and are making the jag too tight.
Well one other thing you can do is cut the Patches in small strips that helps. Another thing you could try is I have some old t-shirt sleeves that I cut off, tear a piece off and ram it through the barrel with a good rod. O yeah is the rod you use brass or aluminum? I use aluminum for my longer rifles

I’ve never used a jag with my 93R17, but I have no problems like you describe with .22 patches and a .17 brush.

That's just resistance with any build up you have in the bore(coefficient of friction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction ). I would suggest using two wet patches first. After the first patch, wait about a minute, second patch, wait a couple more, then dry patch it. If you feel the need to clean more, wet patch, then do the brush, dry patch it out then finish with a oil of choice. That way you are not "smearing" debris back and forth in the bore with the brush. Think of the bore in the same manner you would treat a lens, clean it the same as you are now and you won't see through it well for long. After you read the link, you will see it makes sense. Even when you "dry patch" AFTER the wet patch/brush, it's really not dry since there some lubricity to the surface. --I'm not an engineer by the way.
