    Took me forever, but a 40cal brush and soaking in ATF did the trick on mine, I try not to let them get so fouled now but Im a sucker for used guns in good condition.
    My feedback page if you feel inclined to add:

    I clean after each shooting and avoid the problem.

    When I was an LEO armorer I made a clymer equivalent reamer. But one day I tried a tornado brush and that works wonders but never use the tornado brush in the barrel to not damage rifling.

    I've gotten ridges out with a lead remover I got on line. It's metal shavings like those on a scouring pad. You wrap a few strands around a cleaning brush and
    put the end of the rod into you drill and run it in each cylinder.
    I believe it was call the Frontier 45 rust remover pad.

    I guess that works well for bullet jump - but 2.8-3.2gr BE in a 357 case?? It would get lost!

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    I have been using Big 45 Frontier Metal Cleaner for years. The rings are gone in about 5 seconds. It will not damage your gun.
