By "cleaning OK" I mean that there was little to no lead in the bore and a couple of patches cleaned it clean.

I'm a bit on the fanatical side when it come to cleaning a Schuetzen (lead bullet) rifle.

I only use a one piece steel rod and button tip with a "o" ring at the back to protect the muzzle. My rod guide is made from nylon but an easy one is to drill out the primer pocket of a case to fit your rod. Cotton flannel patch and Hoppe's No.9. Nothing else ever, if it needs a brush I sell it ;-).
