The coating on my current cleaning rod is starting to wear in a couple of spots, I think it's probably time for a new one. What's everyone's go-to choice in .20 caliber?

Or should I just put some plasti-dip on my current rod? (Just kidding.)

I always use the coated Dewey 20 caliber rods, they have worked great so far.

Dewey for me. I've got a rack of them in the gun room from .17 cal all the way up to .45.

Some prefer uncoated rods, but if you wipe the coated rod every time as soon as it exits the barrel, there's no chance of picking up any tiny nasties to put back into your spendy barrel. Personally, I don't want hardened steel coming in contact with my custom stainless rifle barrel.

I prefer the Dewey rods also. I tried a Tipton carbon fiber rod for a while, but I just didn't like the balance of the rod. I sold it to a fellow member here, and as far as I know he is happy with it.

Thanks, all.

I prefer the carbon fiber cleaning rods. Will not harm your barrel and no coatings to scrape off and go where it should not be. Just be careful with the smaller cleaning rods that you do not put too much pressure with too tight of cleaning patches as those little threads do not hold up well.
