Removing separated copper jacket from barrel post-squib

[BayouSlide]

Bad enough to have the first squib of my life in the first array of targets of the final stage of the Gator Classic today, but to add insult to injury (fortunately only metaphorically), the lead core of the JHP separated when pounding the squib out of Glock 34 barrel...lead core came out, the copper jacket is still stuck in the barrel in a thick ring of copper.

The only copper solvent available at China-Mart tonight was Gunslick Copper-Klenz and I was going to soak the barrel in it for a couple of days to see if it might loosen it up. But unless the solvent cuts it enough to remove by vigorous brushing, it still need to be removed somehow.

Anybody have any better ideas, or a better solvent?

Appreciate any advice.

find a true solid lead .356 bullet and pound it through.

Thanks, Kingman, that sounds like a plan. Appreciate the speedy reply, buddy.

Problem resolved. Kingman, you the man

I don't use lead bullets but remembered a pile of reloading stuff an aquaintance gave me a year or so back. Sure enough, it contained some 9mm lead bullets. With one of them, my brass rod, a barrel well lubed with the Copper-Klenz and my ever-handy hammer, and the problem was resolved with about 10 hearty wacks.

As usual, if you have a problem, someone on the BENOS forum has the answer.

I have seen it once before. Glad to be of help
