How do you clean your barrel after using corrosive ammo?

There's a lot of rumors/methods on the internet about how to clean corrosive ammo. You just need to remove the corrosive salts. Hot soapy water works great dries quick. Or windex some say hoppes 9 works just as great. What ever method you use just make sure you follow up with whatever your Regular cleaning routine is and a patch of oil.

I scrub everything down with #9 and I've never had a corrosion issue. A light coat of of oil or grease (depending on the part) doesn't hurt either.

As stated above, plenty of internet cures. Supposedly ammonia neutralizes the corrosive salts in the primers, so many guys use windex followed by a usual cleaning and lubrication.
