On rifles/pistols, I just set the patch on the bore, and push through with the jag. Almost never run the patch through more than once, unless its just to add lube oil.
Jag works best for the scrubbing patches, the patch puller seems to work best for lubin' since you don't drop your patch and can pull it back through.
My cleaning method is simple.. so I'll post it:
Usually take the gun apart and clean everything(saving the bore for last), depending on the gun of course.
Bore:
1. Stick the brush in solvent. Run the brush through 10-15 times depending on how much I put through the gun and the bullet(lead ones take more..)
2. Wet a patch with solvent, set it on the bore, and push through with jag.
3. Run 4-5 dry patches through
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 till the dry ones come out clean
5. Put the patch puller on the rod, and put 2-3 drops of lube oil on the patch. Run through the bore a few times.
