Clean it using a combination of :
1. Gun scrub aerosol solvent (this removes anything loose)
2. bore cleaner (ex: Shooter's Choice MC-7)
3. Bronze bore brush
4. 100% cotton patches
5. Sweet's 7.62 or Super-Copper Out (Shooter's Choice) in case the MC-7 did not get all the copper out
8. protect with Rem-Oil
Read all directions on labels and be very careful about inhaling the fumes of suggestion number 5. .22 Caliber guns do not rquire a bristle bore brush if "swept" with cleaner and oil after every shoot.

I know this is not what you asked but I want to make sure you understand something. If it can be avoided at all DO NOT CLEAN FROM THE MUZZLE. It will ruin the accuracy of your rifle if you are not extremely careful. Always clean from the breach.
If I can get a clean patch through in a reasonable time period I don't use a brush. take care with powerful solvents they can ruin finishes just read the directions.

I use a bore brush (bronze wire brush in a corkscrew shape) to remove metal fouling. I then follow up with cloth patches and solvent to remove the loosened debris. I do this every time I shoot.
If you don't shoot a whole lot per session you can get away with just cloth patches with solvent. Eventually you may still wish to use a brush just to insure that it is clean.

Youneed a bore brush to scrape out the lead and debris. Cloth and solvent alone will NOT do the job properly.

The worst fouling occures when shooting non-jacketed slugs through your rifle. The lead is softer and the heat generated casuse it to deposit in the lands and grooves in the barrle .
Generally if you shoot less than 25 or thirty rounds Just using "Hoppies # 9" And a good cotton patch will do the job .
just make sure that you change the patch after every pass and keep going until you get no more residue or color on the patch.
Every third time you go out shooting , take a couple of passes with a brass brush dipped in Hoppies befor running the rag through . Make Sure you push the brush All The Way Out of the barrell befor changing direction !

Run a patch through with cleaning solvent then soak a brass brush in the solvent a couple of times to get everything out. Then I run another wet patch through followed by a dry one. Turns out sqeekie clean.
