I am like you. I have shot carbon arrows now for over 30 years, just follow makers suggestions as to care/handling, also have a couple of plastic funnels. Never a problem, just have to inspect and be careful at times, like anything else.
I do occasionally, when powder sticks, ripe the funnels with a anti static dryer cloth. Bill K

Never said you guys should not use carbon fiber rods. Just mentioned what I have heard and asked what the collective experience was here amongst ourselves. Thought I might learn something.

If you want to try and push a patch with a wet noodle, or if you like cast iron rods with abrasive diamond coating, it's your choice and your right.

Heading over to the store now - will look at all the rods again - hmmm. What I really want, is some new .222 brass. Might even try the WAYYYY too expensive Nosler brand - $1.00 each.

BTW- I have 2 Dewey .17Rods and will not use them any more - can't get them straight. I've been using Kleenbore .17 rods for about 5 years and they've been pretty good, but I bent one of those recently removing a stuck case .17Rem that was overlong. large or something- wonder if it was a range pickup- don't think so - happened right here in the shop.

The 48" Dewy .35 cal.+ rod I have is wonderful and the best rod I've ever had.

The Dewy .17rods. are the worse.

Oh well.

Due to some suggestions on here I bought some Ivy 17 and 20 cal cleaning rods. The ones I got were straight and I've not had any problems with them.

17 and 20 cal cleaning rods aren't easy to come by in New Zealand so when you get something that doesn't work or has a fault it's not just a matter of going back to the shop for another, you want something that is going to work and last...........Kiwi
