As I've gotten older, thinking too much has become a survival tactic.I'm good to go with product and looking forward to testing Steel Shield's recently released Weapon Shield Solvent on lead - along with a bronze brush and Brownell's Bronze Wool. What I'm really seeking is comment from someone who can speak with some authority on the physical chemistry of leading.

It's been a long time since I fired a .22 and I'm hoping someone here can advise on the "need for speed" when removing lead from the barrel after sending several hundred rounds of non-guilder bullets down the tube. I recently saw a reference that suggested that cleaning is recommended when the barrel is still warm which leads [no pun intended] me to question whether or not lead adheres more tenaciously to lands and grooves over a period of 24 hours. I recently picked up a Bersa BT22 mouse gun to test drive at the range. Accuracy will be a priority, and with the shortage of .22 ammo that appears to be accelerating I expect to be firing a large number of unguilded but waxed lead bullets in the foreseeable future. I'd appreciate advice on how passage of time effects bonding of lead within the barrel.

Anyone using Leupold Alumina Flip-Back Lens Covers??? I'm looking for opinions one how they crack up to Butler Creek flip-ups?
