I run a patch through saturated with solvent at least twice--then two passes with the bore snake--then another solvent patch--then dry patches until clean--I've cut the brushes and tail from another bore snake, use just the front section with oil, two passes with the oil--wipe all the metal down with the gun rag---all my long guns are bolt actions so it's easy to relieve the firing pin---

With a bolt action, after cleaning re-install the bolt and before closing pull the trigger and hold while you close the bolt. This will prevent the firing pin slam of a dry fire.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!
