I use a brass rod as a ram rod for my .22 BP rifle, but I guess you could also use an aluminum sectioned rod that comes with the cheap .22 cleaning kits.  Using 4f powder and the air gun slugs, I find I can shoot 5-6 times before swabbing the barrel.  The slugs I use have a shallow dished base that I fill with mink oil for lube to keep the fouling soft.  A .22 caliber nylon brush on the rod works well for swabbing out the fouling.
