There is a lot of info out there that is for and against each type. I am torn between solid brass, coated, stainless steel, and carbon fiber. Each seem to have negatives, I don't want to do any damage to my bore.

You can't go wrong with Dewey either, I just prefer the bigger handle of the Tipton Rods.

Tipton not a bad rod until the brass foreend comes off it. 3. There are other uber expensive cleaning rods that the BR guys use

As was previously stated, get a good set of jags; I prefer the Parker Hale style from Dewey and I'll add, get a bore guide. I prefer the Lucas bore guides, but others will work. 24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.

I did end up with a Tipton but the end busted off. Probably my fault. I use a tipton brush and jig set. Life can be rough on us dreamers.
