A mistake a lot of people make is the first patch, the swabbing patch, is either too large, and or not damp enough. Also never just shove that down the barrel or you will pack fowling around it and it will get stuck. Instead, dampen the patch with what ever solution you like. When you get that into the barrel, work down the bore in three to four inch strokes, getting longer with the stroke as you move down the barrel. The closer to the breech the shorter the stroke you sometimes have to use. You will feel the fowling and you almost have to scrub that area.

Then move the patch back up the barrel the same way you went down, in short strokes. After you pull that out, flip it over to the other side and do it all over again. After the damp patch then you can work dry patches down the barrel in the same manner you did the damp patch. Short strokes. Usually two dry patches are enough to dry the bore. Never send a dry patch down a fowled barrel. And if you do get one stuck, normally if you pour some isopropyl alcohol down the barrel, to dampen the patch, you can pull it. A T handle on your range rod is a great help in these cases.

Some solvents to use, windex, water, a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and car windshield washer fluid, and of course there are solvents sold for this purpose/ If you think the patch is too wet, ring it out with your fingers.

The main thing is take your time. If you feel lots of pressure, then go no further. You know you can move it back the short stroke distance to remove it. No need to take the breech plug out. If you think the breech might be too wet, then pop a couple 209 primers through it as well before you load again.
