[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1290283, member: 2736"] I prefer a one piece rod that is a large diameter (.270 for 7mm an up) for all calibers larger so the rod doesn't snake down the bore like smaller diameter rods. also I prefer Non Coated because the coatings can/will catch and hold abrasives that can wear the bore. for normal cleaning, I use a swab and solvent only(No brush) to also protect the bore. with this procedure, I can stroke the bore in both directions. If the bore does not come clean, I will use a bronze or nylon brush sparingly and only push it through and remove it at the muzzle for rod removal to minimize crown wear.
