I found working the bore with a jag, tight fitting patches and some rubbing compound or bore paste before ever firing made it very easy to clean. Got lots of black crud out of the bore. I did this way more than 10 strokes, more like 50-100, changing swab when it was black. I did not bother with one direction either, I pushed the abrasive swab back and forth.

Hate to tell you this, jeepmor, but that "black crud" is metal. Using an abrasive like that is not a smart thing to do, especially 50-100 times.
