    best way to remove lead from barrel

    used some magtec cowboy action loads in 250 gr. lead rnfp. when i cleaned it today it appears to have some leading in the barrel. I have cleaners that remove powder and copper but none say they remove lead. Need input on the best way to remove it. Thanks

    Best ever method, that takes 10 seconds:
    Get the proper bore brush
    Get some pure copper Chore Girl Scrubbers for pots and pans
    Cut off 2" squares
    Wrap around the bore brush
    Run up and down the barrel and the lead will fall out and clink on the counter
    We struggled with this for years of casting, then forun this method, and never looked back

    Oh wow! That’s great. I’ve always just used elbow grease.

    I only use the genuine chore boy scrubbing pads. My local stores carry 2 brands of "copper" scrubbers that are just copper plated steel.
