Just trying to get some input from those that may be shooting cast bullets in a forum other than black powder.Those of us that shoot long range black powder think we are another type of precision shooting sport.

Kleen Bore lead away cloths. Have not found anything easier or faster. Problem is the cloths dry out much faster then I was using them.
JB bore paste is also good.
Something like Microlon Gun Juice might work well in this application. Forms a TFE barrier on the steel. Might make the lead less likely to stick?????
haven't shot much cast in years so there might be some new widget to solve the issue.
I am sure you know all about lube, alloy, sizing that should stop leading in the first place.

This is a 120+ year old BPCR that has been badly leaded up, to the point where when i recieved it hardly any of the grooves could be seen. After more than six hours of cleaning I still have lead coming out. Most of it now is in the first 12 inches of the barrel.
Thanks to all who have given information thus far.

Had a similar experience with an old '92.
Don't know why I tried it, but "Fluid Film" and a bronze brush seemed to really loosen the lead up, was coming out in little chunks....maybe just me, but worked better than anything else I tried.
Good Luck.
