The other classic fouling remedy is JB bore compound. JB is an abrasive that's too soft to effect barrel steel, but will remove copper and carbon fouling.
Put some oil ( I use Kroil) on a patch, then put some JB on the patch and run the patch through the bore several times. You want the patch to fit the bore, but not super tightly. I use a new patch with oil and JB about every 10 passes through the bore.
JB is kinda labor intensive, but, one little tub of JB lasts for many years, and JB works, posilutely.
A lot of benchresters use it on their super expensive barrels, so it's a well proven (and safe) remedy.
