Since my Dewey rod is one section, I have been pushing my patches and brushes through the chamber towards the muzzle. I know I should be pulling it through the chamber, but I do not like the idea of dropping the rod through the muzzle and then attaching my patches or brushes and then pulling it through towards the muzzle.

Am I using the single section Dewey rod correctly? I have purchased an Otis Cleaning system to address this issue, but I would like to use the Dewey rod as welle

Thanks for your input

If I read it right you are doing it correctly. Here is what I do: Insert Dewy boreguide then push Dewy rod with soaked patch from chamber to muzzel. Just like the way a bullet would travel. Then hit it with a brass brush, and dry patches from there.

Why would you need to pull it through the chamber??

You're doing it correctly.

Thanks for your reply & I will need to purchase a bore glide. The reason why I asked the question is my Bushmaster  manual stated that it is best to pull the rod/ patch  through rhe chamber verses pushing it. With a two piece rod,  you can drop the rod  through the chamber and attach the patch and handle and then pull it through the barrel. This, however, was a pain it the butt!

Thanks again for your reply.
