Lead Away Cloth

[Namerifrats]

Where do you get it and how much does it usually cost? Heard several good things about it.

I paid $5.00 for a large sheet made by Birchwood Casey about 5 years ago. Or you can try making it yourself.

Thanks! I don't have any actual leading resulting from any of my cast loads yet. But on my 500 S&W there it alot of carbon on the cylinder face from firing. I heard that lead away cloth will wipe that stuff off quite easy.

Someone posted instructions for making it yourself a year or two ago. If you have any interest, run a search for it.

Where can I get the ingredients for it? I think I may have the Alluminum powder. I have some extremely fine powder I use in Tannerite, would that be the same stuff?

Some gas stations in rural communities have kerosene, also hardware stores. I don't know where to get the other stuff. Did you search out the thread on this site? It references another site where there are instructions for making many of the chemical solutions we use: http://www.frfrogspad.com/homemade.htm
