[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3321140, member: 15054"] 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 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. [/QUOTE]
