OK. I know I'll get gigged for saying this. But here goes...
I use Hoppe's #9 with a bronze brush. I patch the barrel a few times first to get the plastic residue soaked down and then half-patch the brush (thread end of the brush) with a patch soaked in the #9. I then take an old aluminum cleaning rod and use my cordless drill at LOW RPM clockwise. I run it through chamber-first all the way to the muzzle very slowly.
When the brush clears the muzzle, I don't bring it back through. I disconnect from the drill and pull it out the muzzle. I then check for any residue remaining and do it again if necessary with a clean patch. Once the residue is cleared out, I bore-snake it and run a final thick T-shirt patch through. When the patch comes out clean, I lightly oil down the inside and out for storage.
Check and lube the choke tube(s) if your shotgun has 'em.
Takes less than 10 minutes to get a mirror bore that's like new.
Remember...LOW RPM. (100-125rpm or so)
Great forum here. Love it!
