I knew it was going to be very close, like the surface of the rod just barely getting past the lands. I think we'd see the rod getting stuck in the bore once a patch is attached. Looks like I'll be giving away three nice Dewey rods when I give away my two mildcat rifles to a friend from high school. It's no fun anymore for me to go into the desert, set everything up and shoot beyond miserably. Then I get to take it all down, pack it back into my vehicle, carry it all upstairs, put it all back in place and clean the guns. I no longer have any desire to do it. I spent a fortune building those rifles, having the dies made, having a few special tools made, buying pounds and pounds and pounds of powders, several thousand bullets and multiple bricks of magnum primers. Like Pontius Pilate, I have washed my hands of these matters...Might not work.
I'm not even going to try it. The rods have been added to the pile of stuff going to Stockton...Usually barrel bores are slightly smaller than the bullet.
The three rods in question went the way of the two rifles in October. I saw no reason to keep three rods that would work in .300" and .358" bores, so I gave them to my friend from high school. My next rifle will be a 6.5mm for which I'll buy a new set of rods...A .22 rod designed to clean the AR15 should work just fine. Find a larger bore brush.
