Stainless is stronger and brass will still need a bore guide at the muzzle. MD

I use a 3/8 steel rod for everything over 40 caliber. I always use a bore guide. The 3/8 steel rod flexes less and precludes the rod rubbing on the bore more than brass.

If you are considering a 3/8" rod, first make sure it will fit in the rod pipes on your rifle will take a 3/8" rod. Not all pipes sold as 3/8" are really that size on the inside diameter.
