I started using a nylon bore brush (28 guage shotgun) with a damp patch wrapped around it fairly recently -and I think it is less likely to get stuck than a good tight jag. In fact, the old technique of working the jag/patch down the bore a little at a time doesn't seem to be necessary. Only problem I have seen is that the brush/patch swab seems to be more likely to let solution get down into the breech plug and nipple area - causing a misfire on the next shot. Using a sparing amount of solution seems to have solved this issue.
