Lead Removal in Barrel

[hawk223]

I read somewhere on the net a while back that putting some cream of wheat on top of the powder removes leading. Has anyone tried this? Does anyone know if this is nonsense?

H2,

It can. Especially if your lead is being built up and removed by each passing bullet. If you stop the next bullet from leading, then eventually it will clear things up to some degree.

Using the same logic, this same phenom would work with any solid filler like plastic shot buffer that stopped leading. But it ain't the filler .... removing the lead.

I tried the FLGC trick to clear a leaded bore. Biggest mess I ever had since I started fooling with CB's. Didn't remove anything, but it did iron what little bit of leading way down into the grooves.
These were store bought boolits rather than home grown. They were from a company that is highly recommended. Finally got all of them shot up or melted into my alloy. Leading has been a very minor issue since then.

I tried this trick on a HiPower and pitted the heck out of the barrel, the vinegar and peroxide really ate into it.

If you try it watch very, very carefully for any dark spots starting to form and remove immediately if you see any sign of pitting.

I've been telling people for years, DO NOT PUT PEROXIDE IN ANY FIREARM!

my bubble has burst. Thanks for the comments about the reason to not use this.
