I dont use a bore snake in my 308 bolt gun though. the difference in a work/ target guns.
I've had some success clearing stuck cases with Otis kits, but I sure as heck wouldn't say it will always do the job. Far from it. I once lent a gentleman a USGI kit to clear a stuck case in a Garand. That job required a good ten minutes of pounding for him to get the case out of the chamber.
On the same day, I used an Otis kit to clear someone's stuck case in an AR. It took about 30 seconds of "tap, tap, tap" with the cable rod from the crown to the breach to see the case pop out.
