    Ruger270 -

    Sounds like maybe you were using a jointed rod. JustC gave good advice - get a solid rod such as the Dewey. I've had mine for years. Once in a while I get a tight patch and put a little too much leverage trying to force it through and end up with a bow in the rod. Never can get them straightened back to perfectly straight! Now, instead of getting rough, I'll insert a shorter, stiff one-piece from the muzzle and push the patch back out of the breech end.

    Keep off the Ridgeline

    An M16 cleaning rod works real well. I bought two M16 cleaning kits on E-bay (23 dollars) that came with an adapter to accept civilian attachments. The rod is narrower than commercial and the eye adapter is narrower as well. It is the only one to date I have found that doesn't get hung up in my 223's. The kit comes with rod, eye patch adapter, grease, patches, brush, oil bottle and an OD green carrying case with belt clips.

    Regards

    Dewey, Klean-bore, and Tipton make some decent rods. I prefer a full length noncoated rod myself. Preferable of a strong metal such as stainless that won't bow to much, or retain grit like soft aluminum rods. I don't like the coated rods because when the coating wears off I feel inclined to replace it and just end up replacing the whole rod. Cause I can wear that coating off like nothing in a week or two.

    I put my money on the Dewey!!!!! I bought one about a year ago, thought $25 bucks was a lot for a cleaning rod. I must admit, it was money well spent. I bought it for my Kimber .22. I aksed the guy what other cal. I can use it for. He said they make bigger rod for larger guns. But he said that you will not have a problem up to 30 cal. Guess what the guy was right. Just a great product.

    I bought a DAK master gun cleaning kit from the gun store the other day, it was $15.00 and came with 12 different lenght solid brass rods. The brass rods are really nice and strong compared to hollow alluminum rods.

    I too, own a Dewey rod. Best $25 i've ever spent. Can't say exactly how many aluminum sectioned rods I've broken over the years and how frustrating it is to remove a broken cleaning rod from a rifle barrel. No more problems with a solid rod.

    For a backpack cleaning kit I like the Bore Snake by Hoppes.

    If you ain't got a sense of humor you got no business bein here!

    Deweys are great, but you might want to try a Patchworm. I bought them for my 22s but I find myself using them for larger calibers.
