I have a 357 SA revolver that' appears to have seen its share of 38 special lead cartridges. Tried scrubbing the rings (of lead?) out with Hoppes #9 and a brass 357 / 38 bore brush to no avail. Not sure if it's a build up of lead or ? But in every cylinder at same depth. Whatever the rings are they don't seem to have effected the accuracy. Any non-abrasive solutions?
