Is it shooting poorly? If not I would not clean it. Sloppy cleaning techniques by the average joe damage a lot of guns. As particular as you seem, you are probably cleaning properly.
I do the following. Using a bore guide, a carbon rod, brass brush for large bores and nylon for .22 caliber, run a wet brush one way through. I don't like to pull the brush back across the muzzle. I would do this a few times. let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Wipe it out until reasonably clean and dry. Run a oiled patch through and your done.
