well you cant just assume either that your chamber has surface rust
to clean the raceways and stuff i use a loop end jag with a big patch and some oil on it and rub it all up in that. You could probably have a look down the chamber with a torch or something, but you can buy white swabs which i think are for shotguns but work well for swabbing the chamber.
and um... dont use steel wool on a stainless steel rifle.
