Leading of a Ruger .45 lc

[bensonwe]

I'm running into problems removing the leading from shooting cast boolits from my Ruger Blackhawk. I'm able to remove quite a bit, maybe 75% from brushing & solvent but the last bits I'm unable to get. Any thoughts or secrets I can try?

wrap some copper [not copper plated] chore boy pad strands around a bore brush.
so it's pretty tight in the barell,then push it through with a little solvent on the brush.

Have you slugged your cyl throats? The ones on my SSRBH were rpetty small @ 0.4505". I got leading pretty badly in the first 2" of bbl. After opening them up to 0.4515", leadin was dramatically reduced & accuracy improved. Stubborn lead goes away quickly w/ the ChoreBoy, a squirt of Kroil oil along the way doesn't hurt.

I tried the copper chore boy and it cleaned it right up. Thanks

My GP100 had thread choke, small throats and hates TL boolits.
