chainring Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The two shotguns through which I've recently started shooting some B&P Low Recoil slugs are showing HUGE lead deposits in the first third of the barrel. Love the slugs, no recoil at all, accurate as can be - but I don't know if I can live with these ungodly deposits. I worked at it forever with some Shooter's Choice Lead Remover somethin-or-other last night and wasn't making much headway. All my other shotguns are shiny clean with nothing but boresnaking. What kind of cleaner should I get for dissolving this crap? Don't usually have to deal with this... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 +1 to the stainless brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prreed10 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'll have to find out what it is exactly called, bit it's basically a bag of metal coils- looks like a Brillo pad. I cut a few inches off and wrap them around a brass brush on a rod. Several passes & follow with a patch. Ends up super clean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyNo! Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I ran 30 Wolf slugs through my gun the other day and they're great. The only thing is that my barrel looks horrible and I don't have the tools on hand to touch it. Will Ibe ok shooting 50 rounds of bird-shot and a few slugs over it? I won't be able to see decent cleaning equipment until after a 3-gun match this weekend. Edited March 31, 2011 by DyNo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainring Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Kinda wondered about that, myself. Sure looks nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Lead away cloth cut into patches and pushed through with a brush works well also. It will stick to the brush so it can be worked back and forth or spun. It will take a couple of them so you get 2-3 cleanings per cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainring Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I chucked up a brass brush in my drill motor and after a few minutes, it was all over. Thanks, y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aheadofthecurve Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've never cleaned my slp barrel since i bought it . I think it is so dirty it is starting to shoot tighter groups. I've got to get one of these setups and clean it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainring Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just use a boresnake now and then, if at all, but this was different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prreed10 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I finally found it: Frontier Metal Cleaner I cut a few inches off, wrap it around a brush and go to town. Pass a patch and its clean as a whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
