I get a sauce pan and put a couple of quarts of hot water in it.
Squirt some liquid dish soap in it and put it on the floor.
Remove the bolt.
Put a patch on the cleaning rod.
Stick the muzzle into the water, and run the patch from the breech all the way to the muzzle.
Draw back, all the way to the chamber.
Repeat a dozen times.
Bye bye to all corrosive salts, and a bunch of other nasty gunk.
Use a couple of dry patches, then clean as normal.

EXACTLY!!!!
This works well for cleaning corrosive deposits from any gun that you can do a complete pass through with a rod. Works well with inline muzzleloaders, surplus bolt guns, etc.
The cleaning patch forms a vaccuum and draws water up into the barrel flushing everything out. A few passes and you are good. Then just dry and apply a light coat of oil.
