If you want a BP barrel to be squeaky clean in no time, drop a tablespoon of TSP powder in the bucket of about half a gallon of hot water and then do your suction routine with the ramrod/jag/patch. It takes just seconds and fouling is dissolved. Wear gloves. It’s not good for your skin.
Just make sure to dry it good and oil it adequately.
I’ve used TSP/water to clean my TC 50cal Hawken since I built it in the early 80’s. It takes so little time to get it clean, and it’s still in fine shape.
TSP = Trisodium Phosphate. Available at any hardware store.
