  I use a brass rod that I purchased for my .177 pellet guns. I think it is marketed by Beeman.

  Use a Dewey or Tipton, you won't be able to break one of those.

  I'm sorry to hear that a carbon fiber rod broke. What did the manufacturer say?
  
  I have a .17 cal. Dewey rod that I use every day and have been for the last 15 years. It's still going strong.
  
  Best.

  Thanks I'll try a dewey
  It was a used rod I picked up at a local gunshop. It snapped clean right at the handle. It may have been damaged previously and I just got had. It was an impulse buy... I'm only out 8 bucks on it.

  Dewey or Boretech are the only way to go.
