The OP's isn't going to get much of a clean just by using Ballistol. IMO, all Ballistol is just good for lube and making a gun smell bad.
I use Hoppe's #9 (an actual solvent), no CLP. Since all my revolvers are stainless, I use a brass brush to scrub the front of the cylinder and forcing cone to remove burnt on powder.
After all the scrubbing is done, I use either a Kleen Bore Lead Away patches of one of those Birchwood Casey lead removing cloth.
Once this is all done, I give the gun a good lubing.
