When finished brushing, take a patch and attach it to a jag. You can also wrap it around a nylon bore brush, which I find to be a bit more effective than a jag. Having a second bore rod is ever so helpful here, as it saves the tedium of screwing and unscrewing attachments. (I really hate that part of the job!) Dip the patch in your cleaner and run it through the bore several times to lift out any grime the brush has loosened.

The wet patch should come out of the bore dirty. If it’s particularly so, indicating a lot of dirt still in the barrel, get a new patch, dip it in cleaner, and repeat the action. Repeat this process until the patches start to look fairly clean.

Once you reach that point attach a clean, dry patch to the jag and run it through the bore one time. If you’ve done a thorough job with the wet patches the second or third dry patch should start looking pretty clean. I stop at this point. You certainly can spend another half hour cleaning, until the dry patches come out looking like freshly washed hospital sheets, but I think that’s overkill. I don’t believe that such levels of cleanliness gain us anything, ballistically speaking. After all, the first shot you take after cleaning will dirty the bore all over again.
