I wrap my patches of carbon solvent around a brass brush.
I wrap my patches of copper solvent around a nylon brush.

I have a bore-scope, and always check to see that the barrel is actually clean when I'm done cleaning. I'm not saying you can't do it with just jags and patches, but it either takes a lot longer or it's going to take a lot more strokes to get the barrel "clean".

I never let anything sit in the barrel for more than 30minutes, but I know lots of people let them soak overnight.

I also run a kroil patch after the final one comes out clean.
