For cleaning, find yourself a pair of good chamber and forcing cone scrubbers to remove lead fouling. They look like these; the chamber scrubber has a rubber plug that the knurled nut tightens up on to expand the rubber to increase the scrubbing action. The mesh is brass wire and will not damage the steel of the cylinder or forcing cone, and are replaceable. These both thread to a standard cleaning rod. The forcing cone scrubber is fit from the cylinder side and the rod is inserted down the barrel and attached. The chamber scrubber is placed at the breech end and the rod inserted through the exit end and then threaded and pulled through to the narrowed end and twisted to clean the powder and lead residue ring that collects from shooting .38 cases in the .357 chamber.
