Generally, cleaning rods have a freely-rotating handle so you would not feel the rod turning as it travels.

Try this:

Run a tight dry patch down the bore through the barrel, but not out the other side yet. Take a piece of scotch tape and place it around the rod where it's left exposed and leave a slight "tail" of excess tape. Then slowly withdraw the rod and watch the "tail" rotate -- showing you the rod itself is turning as it moves.
