I'm sort of surprised that no one has mentioned
the importance of a good, STIFF cleaning rod, especially
for the smaller calibers.  Those soft aluminum rods
bend inside the bore and scrape against it, leaving
a deposit of aluminum.  I can't see the sense of
trying to remove powder fouling only to replace it
with aluminum dust.

The best cleaning rods for the money are the 
steel military surplus ones.
