The Cleaning continues,
Once the firearm is confirmed unloaded and Safe to handle, I place the rifle in a cleaning cradle and push a solvent wet patch (usually Hoppes BR), through the bore and then leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. What we are doing here, is activating a chemical reaction between the chemical bore solvent and the jacket fouling. And in case you don't remember, chemical reactions happen faster at higher temperatures. In Winter, I place the firearm in the sun or another warm place to assist with this.
I then push a solvent wet Bronze Brush (of the correct size for the caliber being cleaned), back and forward through the bore (5x5) and then, patch out the bore with three or four clean patches.
