100% Copper Chore Boy on a bronze bore brush to get the big lead stuff out and the lead that does not want to be removed i use a mix of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar 50/50.
I leave it in the barrel for 3 minutes and then scrub and clean it out.
Lead will fall out in chunks.. Do not leave it on any longer than 5 minutes.
It will pit the barrel if left in for a long time and it will eat aluminum and will remove blueing if you let it stay on the blueing.

I want to warn everyone about using this formula.
The mixture will actually dissolve lead, and form a type of liquid (lead acetate?) that can be absorbed through your skin.
Use caution, and perhaps latex gloves.

I got my dads old 357 mag 6" barrel and there was no rifling it was just a lead filled hole.
He never cleaned his gun barrels did not have any cleaning rods or brushes in the house.
LPS on a rag and wipe down the outside is the best his guns ever got.
I had to use the peroxide vinegar as nothing would remove the lead all the way.
I did 3 treatments of the mix and between soaks I would clean and and scrub with Chore Boy.
Then clean/lube like you would any gun and dry patch it out.
