Actually have a chub of salami in the fridge with no "added" nitrates or nitrites right now.
Then it's no good for rifle cleaning.
Has a nice thick course black pepper coating on it. It would probably do a decent job of scrubbing fouling out. And it's about the proper dimension for running down a 20mm cannon bore.
Unfortunately, I don't have one of those to try it on, so I guess I continue eating it for my afternoon snack.
