   I use a combination of spear or Parker-Hale jags depending what type of cleaning I'm needing to do. If patches are largish and extend beyond the jag onto the rod proper, there's every possibility of...

   I put together a varmint rifle in the late 1990's and bought a .224 polished stainless one-piece rod. Since then I've used it for all my centrefires, but it is a bit bendy for .308 and .357 barrels.

   Kleen Bore do a hardened steel rod with a red plastic coating - possibly one of the longest lasting rods I've used and good from their blurb for .22 to .45. Bearings in the handles are a bit naff...

   Yeah, you're right about the popcorn. An old record (broken?) will be pulled out. This is my experience - I started out, as most of my generation did, with Parker-Hale coated steel rods. I went...

   I would recommend a one piece carbon fibre cleaning rod. Almost impossible to break and they'll never get bent. For that suite of calibres I'd go with two; a .22 cleaning rod, and a .27+ cleaning...
