Seems this topic was just hashed out recently. It goes without saying that a good bore guide is essential, if one is made for your rifle.

Interesting about the toughness of the Dewey vs. Bore Tech coatings. I can't say I have found one better than the other. They both strip pretty easily, in my experience.

A fixed blade ejector in a .22rf can play havoc with a coated rod.
