Never used the Iosso, the JB paste I use is non embedding. But that paste, I use only once if at all, on new barrels (rack grade) to smooth down the interior. Like a ruger predator, or savage axis. The Lilja, Criterion, Precision barrels (uintah) don't use that stuff, they are clean already.
For cleaning I use MPro-7 bore gel, or now it's MPro-7 spray, the gel is becoming hard to find. Sometimes a little bore foam, the MPro spray and bore foam are both water based. There is a CLP type spray (Mossy oak) that has some oil to it also, I tried that once but gummed up my actions during a cool rainy-wet type of day. So not again.
For the water based make sure you get it all out, I finish up with some oil and dry patches.
A decent barrel won't need anything scrubby after break in.
