I prefer Break Free CLP but also like Kroil. Break Free rates better that Kroil for rust prevention in a comparison I came across one day.

For lead removal I use Lead Away Gun Cleaning Cloth which is simply amazing. I bought an old 629 44 Mag some years back and the front of the cylinder was a black mess which disappeared with the cloth. I cant say enough about how it works; you just cant use it on a blued gun surface though you can use it in the barrel.

Just so you know, as much as I like the convenience of Bore Snakes and always carry them in the field for emergencies, they do not do a very good job of getting fouling out of the corners of the grooves. Sometimes the crud holds water and this can cause rust, even if you apply oil over it. I think you will find that if you run a tight patch through after "Boresnaking", what you find will return you to traditional brush/patch cleaning before storage. They do an excellent job on Micro Groove and polygonally rifled barrels, though, and also are great for getting the plastic fouling from wads out of shotgun barrels. I like them a lot, but one should be aware that they have real limitations in conventional barrels with button/forged/cut rifling.
