Sure. My first couple of carbine courses emphasized Boresnake and non-chloronated brake (or carburator) cleaner. When I bought my own rifle as opposed to running an agency rifle I wanted the best cleaning setup possible. So I bought the Otis Universal kit. I then quickly became the head of firearms training, and was responible for inspecting and repairing a couple of dozen guns that weren't mine. The first time I got one of the proprietary patches stuck in the barrel throat was irritating. So I took extra care on setting up the patch on the loop fitting, and still out of every 20-30 patches got one stuck in the throat. Curved hemostats were almost helpful until the patch began to shred. The best way to get a stuck patch out was to work the cable until the loop unscrewed, and then use a regular rod to tap it back out through the chamber.
I honestly think the Universal patches are still too large to work well in a .22 bore. They require a lot of focus to properly pinch and pull to knot through the loop to get the patch to be snug enough but not too tight. I prefer a rod and bore guide, but a Boresnake is easier, faster, and more portable. When I teach I have a rod nearby, because I have had plenty of rims ripped off of cases on training, and Otis claims the cable will work with small taps, but the rod is just quicker. I find the Otis kit to be an 80% solution, a Boresnake is about a 95% solution, and the dedicated rod is the gold standard. If I use my Otis setup for cleaning I find it much easier too wrap the patch around a bore brush, or maybe to push the threads of the bore brush through the cuts in the patch and then attach the brush to the cable.
The problems with the Otis kit may well be operator error. I can pull a Boresnake through the gun 5 or 6 times in the time it takes me run 2 clean patches through the gun with the Otis setup, and in that amount of passes the Boresnake is done. Otis usually isn't. The Otis will likely get the gun cleaner, with an investment of more time. I don't believe either will get a benchrester' barrel sparkling clean. I just want a gun clean enough to function, maintain accuracy, and pass inspection. Boresnake and brake cleaner routine does that with less effort and time.
If you like your guns to pass a white glove inspection every time you clean it, a Boresnake will likely leave you dissatisfied. A 20 year+ habit of mine is to clean my guns at the range when I can so that I can test fire them after reassembly. So I want it "clean enough" as quickly as possible.
