The Dewey .22–.26 Cal Copper Eliminator Cleaning Rod – 44" (DW22CA44) is designed for shooters who want top-tier bore cleaning performance without copper fouling interference. Unlike traditional brass rods that can leave misleading copper residue in your barrel, the Copper Eliminator system features a precision aluminum shaft with a chemically-resistant coating that won't react with copper solvents — giving you a truer picture of your bore’s condition.
At 44 inches long, this rod is ideal for cleaning bolt-action centrefire rifles in calibres from .22 to .26 (5.56mm to 6.5mm), including popular Australian choices like .223 Rem, .243 Win, and 6.5 Creedmoor. It includes an 8/36 male thread compatible with Copper Eliminator brushes and jags (sold separately), but can also be adapted to standard 8/32 accessories with a thread adapter.
Trusted by benchrest shooters and professional armourers alike, Dewey’s American-made cleaning rods are known for precision, durability, and protecting your barrel. Whether you're chasing accuracy at distance or maintaining your go-to hunting rifle, this rod gets the job done right — no false copper readings, no shortcuts.
