Hey gents, I'm trying to find a cleaning kit for .30 air rifle, but all I keep finding are kits for .177 and .22, or rifle kits that have wire brushes attached. I suspect using a traditional cleaning rod will be a giant pain in the ass trying to load patches in the breech, so... what do you guys use?

Cleaning .30 Cal??

I use a home made setup made from some nylon 3D printer filament. I melted the end to form a small widened area to hold a patch while it is pulled through the barrel. Many use string trimmer line but I hesitate to use it since most string trimmer line has abrasives added to the plastic formulation which I do not want touching the bore of my barrel.
Alternately many use a "Bore Snake" available online and at most sporting goods locations that deal in guns.

I wasn't able to find a boresnake where the weight fit in the breach (lengthwise). Though now that I say that, I could probably just file it down...

I use the orange plastic weed wacker wire and put a lighter flame on the end and push it down to round it out. Then i just put on enough patches to fill the barrel and pull through. Works great. My 25 condor ss has the built in moderator so I just insert a mcdonalds straw at the muzzle so the cord comes out easily.
