Some of my rifles but not all have never seen a jacketed bullet or very few since I have owned them,I pretty much shoot cast lead exclusive. I generally clean the bores on use or surplus rifle with a copper solvent till the patches come out clear,then they get an overnight soak in Kroils Oil and a good brushing followed by a general purpose cleaning with Ed's Red. After that an after every shooting secession I you can pretty much clean the bores with one slightly wet patch and a dry ones followed by a lightly coated patch of Ed's Red for storage as about all that is in the bore after shooting is a bit of powder residue.
