Default Re: Lead Removal

gboggs,
I said I did lead the barrel of a .45 Colt revolver. used black powder and soft lead. Velocity was just a tad much and gave me the lead. Never had a problem using any other lead bullets in any other firearm. Never used the screen in another gun. Barrels look clean and bright. If there is lead there so be it. The guns I shoot lead bullets with are plenty accurate for me with the normal barrel cleaning they get. That goes for handguns and rifles up to a .45-90 Sharps Model 1874.

That's fine, they're not my barrels. But just because you dont like it and are not as discriminating about a clean gun doesn't mean you have to dump all over the product to taint others from using it.

And understand that whether you think so or not, if a lead bullet is going down your barrel, your barrel has lead in it, even if water is propelling it.
