Boresnake for 99% of rimfire and about 70% of shotgun cleaning (twice yearly "make extra dern sure it's CLEAN" sessions are the only time a rod is used in rimfire, and if i see plastic build up in the ????gun...)
and boresnakes for "quick touch-up"
as for the rest of the stable gets a through but careful cleaning after every session, use mostly Pro-Shot "tools" (brushes, jags, mops, etc) b/c Pro-shot unlike most other more well known names does not make "dual caliber" brushes (ie 44/45 ect) where the brush is sized between optimal diameter for the two, there is a dedicated .44 and a dedicated .45.
the one "tool" exception is that, i'm still using the Kleen-bore one-piece rod that I bought the day after i realized that my Pro-shot was missing and i didn't want to mess with driving all the way up to houston that night to get a new one. been using Hoppe's and shooter's choice solvents. But I am currently looking for better ideas that are more efficient at copper and lead removal, (preferably a single one to cut both) and thus reduce the amount of "scrubbing" needed, and the attendant wear on and risk of damage to, the bore.
BTW that shooter's choice "lead remover" solvent might be better than Hoppe's for cutting lead, but not by much! i STILL shudder when i think about the Marlin 1894 i bought two years ago, i don't know WHAT they shot through that thing at the factory but it left behind lead deposits that looked like candle wax!! only gun i ever used a Lewis tool on.
