Segmented rods won't hurt anything. Aluminum rods or coated rods will. They act just like a lap - their softer (than the bore) surface will get grit embedded into it. Stick to bare steel rods. I use a one piece at home and pack a segmented one when afield.

As far as solvents, I'm with HardDrive - good ol' #9 and oil. I've used darn near everything out there, and just keep going back to this. Oh, I will use Sweet's 7.62 on stuff like my .220 Swift that can get some copper fouling, but that's about the only place I deviate from good old Hoppe's.
