Bore guide?
#2
Metal rubbing on your lands and groves from a cleaning rod and patch jag and patch loop can damage the lands and groves and the crown of the barrel over time. A guide prevents the rod from touching the rifling. Do you need it? That is up to you. Problem is, if it is possible, it is best to clean a barrel from the breech end and I have never sen a bore guide that will fit in the breesh end of the barrel. Not saying there aren't any, just that I have never seen any.

Your chamber throat tends to be the most vulnerable spot for cleaning rod contact.
Tipton (and other) boreguides can be had incredibly cheap, so there's no sense in NOT using one.
They're also helpful for inserting wetted patches without falling off of the jag or drooling into the action.

Tipton, Possum Hollow, Wheeler, JP, ProShot, Satern, etc etc... They all make breech end bore guides. By and large, they all look something along these lines:
