[QUOTE="Jay03, post: 1129470, member: 39495"] Use the brush to scrup and get some nice jags to push patches with after the brushing. The ones with the orings that are caliber specific are some of the best IMHO. And get an aluminum jag for each caliber you clean as well. After the brushing and patches I will run a patch or two with the aluminum alloy jag to see if the copper is out yet or not. It will stop you from getting false positives with the brass jags. If I still see a little blue on the patch over the aluminum jag I go back to the regular jag and patch and keep cleaning. I used to see nickel plated jags for this reason but I would caution using them because nickel is hard and could damage the crown. If you do use nickel coated jags for copper checking unscrew them after you push a patch through and don't pull them back across the crown. This should let you know when the copper is or isn't out.
