Gun cleaning question

After many years away from shooting.... I am back. So some "update" questions.

Cleaning....

- have some lead and copper jacket fouling of my pistol barrels. What is the best, most effective way of getting barrels clean? Still the old old-standby Hoppes #9?...or other stuff? In either case....what "method" works best? Allowing some "soak" time? Brass bristle brushes still the way?

- In the past I bought some pre-soaked patches that did an effective lead clean-out. Can't remember the brand-name. Something like this out there too, nowadays?

If it matters....applies to my .45 and .22 ( obviously lead-only for the .22)

Lastly.....trying to get some extra mag clips for my original Browning Challenger ( first series, Belgian made) .22 pistol......but holy smokes !..... some internet searches are saying $150 a pop? Is this for real ??
