Every ring manufacturer has a specific hone pattern, but for the guy doing a hone at home, it's best to have approximately a 45 degree cross hatch pattern. I prefer the bottle brush hone since it makes the patterns easily with a variable speed drill on slow moving up the down the cylinder pretty quickly to get the 45 degree pattern.
