I feel like I've got a good handle on the barrel cleaning process but often wonder if I'm doing a good enough job cleaning the chamber.
What process do you use for chamber cleaning?
 
Are you wondering about a bolt gun or a semi-auto gun such as an AR?
 
From my experiences cleaning a bolt gun, the cartridge brass should seal off the chamber. You will get the carbon build up in front of the neck and in the leade area. Therefore I only worry about carbon build up in the neck area of the chamber. Allowing Bore Tech Carbon Remover to soak on the spot overnight a couple times really takes care of it.

This plus I swab out the chamber using a large mop with paper towel wrapped around it to make sure the chamber is dry.
 
After cleaning I run a large patch on a jag in the chamber to clean out any residue. Using a good bore guide helps.

That's what I've been doing too. Just needed a gut check if there was a better way that I've missed
