Only used one of the above on a rimfire. Quickly decided I had a strong preference for a cleaning rod and jag with a good bore guide for the application at hand. Have not looked back.
Suppose I look at what fishing line does in the way of wear to the eyelets especially the one at the tip of the rod. While maybe not as pronounced, I feel I would be inviting similar wear on the crown of the rifle.
Something i could live without. JMHO
