What is everyone using for .22lr cleaning rod?

 
.17 rod, 'cos I already had one and I'm too cheap to get another.

PS the winter flanelette sheets could be a victim soon.

Use a bore guide! Bill Calfree said more 22 barrels ruined with A cleaning rod and no bore guide.I myself use a pull thru plastic coated cable with A loop on the end.The same one I use on my Bench Rest Air Rifles.

Do you use a guide on the muzzle to not damage crown?

I use a single wrap of 3" masking tape around the end of my rod where it exits the muzzle, as suggested elsewhere. Some will tell you that's a waste of time, but it's not thier rifle, it's yours. I have no idea what cable users do.

If you're cleaning from the muzzle...autoloader, Lever action...they make muzzle rod guides.
