Getting the Lead Out

[cpt dan blodgett]

I was looking for silvery flakes like turpentine pulled out of my Armi Spots sharps

Don't know for sure, but i read on cast bullits forum that automatic transmission fluid makes a good bore cleaner. Swab it in good and wet, let it sit overnite, then a real tight mop with the chore boy wrapped around it.

The turpentine certainly seems to pull more black stuff out of the bore after I wet scrub it hard with the bronze wool wound bronze brush than other commercial bore cleaning products

After cleaning an old 45/60 barrel a few months back with Gum Turpentine and a bronze brush , my patch's came out white, bore still looked like it had something in there or it was just rough  . Shot 25 Barmes Original's @ 458  jacketed bullet's with light smokeless loads through it . After cleaning the bore it sure looked smoother afterward . Cleans up fast now and shoots lead bullets loaded with BP. PRETTY GOOD now . Good luck. ,,,,DT

I've been working on a load for my Krag scout rifle and really hadn't shot it much until now. But yesterday I had a couple of fliers where it had been grouping well at 30 yds. I hit the bore this morning alternating between Hoppes 9 and JB and got my groups back but plan on scrubbing some more tonight until I can get a clean patch. It didn't look that bad but the black patches say different.
