I cut a small 'patch' from a KLEEN-BORE Lead-Away cloth, and use that pushed by a dowel through my barrel.
When the bore is mirror-bright (normally just a few passes) I then clean the crap outta it using more conventional means.
I try to avoid using brushes, but if I must I use non-steel.
Then I re-clean it conventionally and finish it off with a TetraLube-saturated patch.

Before I shoot it I run dry clean patches through it.
