I discovered de-leading wool from cylinder & slide. Others have used pieces of a Chor-boy scouring pad. With the de-leading wool, I run a patch wet with Hoppe's through all the chambers, let sit for a few minutes, then cut a few strands of the de-leading wool from the bundle, and wind them around a bronze brush. 2 or 3 strokes in each chamber and it's done. Wipe the accumulated Hoppe's and residue from the front of the cylinder and re-install on the revolver.

The de-leading wool is harder than lead but softer than steel, and will not harm your chamber. It's available at Brownell's and Midway.
