I do believe you are over doing it  . What I do is run a patch(es) (tight fit) with Hoppes #9 down the barrel and in the chambers, Then if needed I run the bronze brush through. Then a couple clean patches and done. Same with the external areas and the base pin. Then a little oil on the base pin and it's ready to rock again. 10-15 minutes max for a normal cleaning.

A shortcut: if you are a handloader, find a piece of .357 Magnum brass...

If you are a handloader, you deep six the .38 special brass and just load .357 brass to .38 power levels.... Eliminates all the hassle.
