    The big 45 and any spray lubricant works on leaded barrels also. Wouldn't have believed it but it's amazing! Watched a local gunshop owner spray some "generic pb blaster cheapo wd 40 sold by the gallon" out of a febreeze bottle into a ruger super blackhawk barrel, wait about a minute then wrap some of the big 45 strands around a bronze brush and start scrubbing. Lead flakes where literally splashing out of the barrel in about 5 quick strokes. After about a minute bore was clean and shiny. Ended up buying a couple of the big 45 pads and the blackhawk once he was done.

    Son started with the 521T for/in competition. Out side was in rough shape, he won many smallbore competitions with that rifle, shooting with/against adults, still have it.
    You will like it, very accurate..
    You just need to find the ammo the gun likes...

    I came across some Eley Team. It's Tenex after runs and therefor cheaper. Shoots well in all my rifles. Best groups I've had. Unfortunately, I didn't buy a brick. Now I have a box of fifty to last me for how long I don't know. The next best ammo I tried is Geco Match, followed by Geco Rifle. I did buy a brick of each. Otherwise, CCI Standard Target seems to work quite well and is far cheaper. Just some suggestions if one can find it. CCI is readily available so I got a brick just for plinking. I would guess that the 521T would shoot most ammo well.
