Thinking about either buying an otis kit or a Dewey rod and a bore guide. I was wondering if one way of cleaning was better than the other for a bolt action?
It has been my understanding that a steel one peice rod is better than a coated rod as the soft coating becomes embedded with abrasive particles and becomes a file.
Borka Tools sells an awesome field kit with proshot rods. i love them for my bag.Yes...this
There is a thread that goes into great detail about the benefit of the polished steel rods and the misconceptions surrounding steel in your rifle barrel.
I ditched my carbon fiber and coated rods in favor of Pro-Shot rods and really like them.
Definitely search for that thread.
