Adrenaline Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just wanted to show how well the stuff I use works on lead and carbon. I am not sponsored by nor am I payed by said company just want to throw the info out there for anybody having issues with lead build up and carbon build up. Use gunslick foaming bore cleaner and I suggest everytime you clean the pistol which should be everytime you shoot it. Anyways, 30 minute soak in the barrel and comp is what I do the scratch away the lead and carbon with a dental pick. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Or, just shoot JHP's …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 You know I have not even tried em out yet. I am curious about this as for how they feel out of my open glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz427 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 This is kinda what I do. Except I’ve been using Remington bore bright, the stuff with the white cap. And after letting it sit for a bit I scrape it off with a dental pick. I’m also shooting JHPs now instead of coated blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezra650 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've heard spraying the comp with case lube after cleaning helps it come out easier the next time, anyone found this to be true? After poking my hand and cussing the last time I cleaned my .22 comp I've been wiping it with q tips after every firing and spraying it with lanolin wax/alcohol.

A mix of liquid Lanolin and 99% alcohol. $20 worth of stuff on amazon and you have case lube for years and years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that, is it 50/50 mix ration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 51 minutes ago, Furrly said: I figured that, is it 50/50 mix ration Gosh no. It's much less lanolin. Start at about 15% lanolin and run some brass through the size die. Add a few drops of lanolin shake well and try again with other unsized cases until it feels like it's already been sized. LOL You just have to experiment with the ratio until it performs the way you want it to. Eventually you can kind of tell by the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If you think of trying this get 99% alcohol. It has virtually no water in it and evaporates completely leaving only a film of lanolin. Some people say they find it locally but I tried several pharmacies etc and finally just ordered it. https://www.amazon.com/Home-Health-Liquid-Lanolin-Ounce/dp/B0014AWF0S/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3CPAXTV467LXH&keywords=liquid%2Blanolin%2B100%&qid=1549927677&s=gateway&sprefix=liquid%2BlaN%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-6&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol/dp/B00ZCCYTWG/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=100%%2BALCOHOL&qid=1549927720&s=gateway&sr=8-5&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great.Step One -Gather contents - Liquid Lanolin (100% pure was $7.00 at the local health food store) Isopropyl Alcohol (at minimum 91% $1.19 at the local drug store - 99% is best couldn't find it) If you go to an Auto Store ISO HEET is 99% Isopropyl New or Clean spray bottle (from the "Dollar" store) has ratio markings and ounce markings so it helps Step Two Warm the Lanolin in warm tap water (110 to 120 degrees F - NO OPEN FLAMES!) Do the same for the IPA, this will help in the mixing process. Step Three Pour 2 (two) ounces of the warmed Lanolin into the spray bottle Step Four Pour 16 (sixteen) ounces of the warmed IPA into the spray bottle giving you an 1:8 ratio This seem to be the ratio that best mimics Dillon Spray Lube (add more IPA if you feel it is too thick in your dies)Step Five Shake until contents becomes homogenized and label the bottle accordingly (so you don't confuse it with CLP or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
