Thanks again folks!

That makes sense, and there often is a bit of detritus left after a snow ball or two has been punched out with a stick or stalk.

One other thing about braided rope snakes is that they accumulate fouling which ends up on your hands and clothes, or you have to wash them. The weed trimmer line will not do that to the same extent. Maybe this is a nonfactor with smokeless fouling, but with black powder, something that is easily cleaned it a big plus. Just pulling the line through a clean patch gets that job done quickly, and it won't get your vest or pocket dirty when you return it to storage.
