Dip the brush in cleaning solution and scrub each chamber thoroughly, then follow up with a dry patch wrapped around the bore brush appropriate for the caliber (an oversized brush is not necessary, because the patch takes up the space.) You can also use a wool mop, which I find more convenient.

That’s usually sufficient, although shooting a lot of Special loads in Magnum cylinders can sometimes leave a stubborn ring of combustion products that needs to be removed. The ring is a mix of carbon, jacket material and/or vaporized lead with burnt lubricant. The test is simple: if a Magnum cartridge won’t drop fully into the chamber without assistance, you’ve got a ring to remove.

The tool of choice is a stainless Tornado brush, again one caliber larger than the gun being cleaned. Dip the Tornado in cleaner then run it through the offending chamber(s) several times, followed by the drop mop or patch. I’ve never found a chamber which failed to come clean with this method. The Chore Boy trick works well for this, too.
