I second rabbit's use of two or more rods. Lose too much time changing accessories on a single rod. One rod with bronze brush, second with brass jag. I wet the bores with a ballistol and water soaked patch over the jag. Then I scrub with couple of patches over the bronze brush. Finish with patches over the brass jag and finally a CLP patch on the jag. The jags aren't available from modern cleaning rod suppliers. Go to the muzzleloader suppliers and get 12,16 and 20gauge jags, rifle caliber jags for the smaller guages. Might have to spin the brass jags with a drill against carbine paper to get the exact size for bore fit with patch - this is easy enough to adjust. I never have figured out how they expected a slotted tip to clean a shotgun bore. Light CLP wipe on the exterior and she is clean.
