With frequent use...there should be no carbon ring issue.
If you use ANY carbon cleaner, such as Carby Kleen, Brake Kleen or CLR when you do have a carbon ring, let it soak for 10-15 mins. I soak a cotton bore mop, push it in tight and dribble more in from the muzzle. Let it sit in place, soak then remove it and douse more on a bronze brush. You can use a hand drill to spin the brush, but stroking it back and forth works. I normally use a worn out brush or an undersize brush.
Cheers.

On my few rifles that get carbon rings I do as MagnumManiac above does but I use car injector cleaner or Mercury marine carbon treatment. Usually a 30 minute soak and a few passes with a nylon brush and it's gone.

I do many of the same things here...soak a cotton tube swab that I use to clean the chamber, let that soak with BoreTech carbon cleaner, scrub a bit, and if needed do it again or take an undersized nylon brush, wrap in a patch and use a drill to clean, using a little metal cleaner as needed.
