Well, I cleaned the holy heck out of each one of the cylinders and it worked!!! It took me several times through the cylinders to finally get each one clean enough to get the rounds to fit. I actually resorted to attaching one of the scrubbing brushes to my drill to finish the last 2 cylinders because the first 4 took about 45mins. The drill made quick work of it after that.

I really appreciate all the feed back and solutions!

Tools used:
Gun Scrubber
Rem Oil
2 Scrubbing brushes
Black & Decker 18v Drill
elbow grease
and a lot of patience

yep, this is it.

Yes it is and a standard bore brush may not take it out, depending on the amount of build-up. This may be the only legitimate use for a turbo brush. I've used one to clear .357 cylinders when a bore brush couldn't do the job.
