3/8" times a couple of inches longer than your ramrod.

I'd leave it a little on the long size. If you plan on getting more guns, it would likely work on them too if long enough.

I like a good 4 or 5 inches longer than the internal barrel length. And like Mooman said, plan for the future.

I generally load with the wood underbarrel rod even at the range. I do have two excellent range rods, though and they are used mostly for cleaning. They are ss and maybe 1/4" or slightly less. They are strong and about 4' long so they work with any gun I own.

I make my range rods out of 3/8 brass rods. For 36 calibers I use 1/4 inch stainless!I always use a bore protector on my range rods.
