I have always had a leading problem with my Ruger 44 Mag. I've tried everything I could think of and all the snake oil remedies that were recommended to me. No results until last week when I tried Shooter's Choice Lead Remover. It didn't seem to clean any better than solvent but after the next shooting session the barrel was lead free!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I immediately loaded some of the worse bullets I had with maximum loads, fired a few and checked the bore. There was just a very minimal amount of lead but nothing to complain about. I don't know how long the effect will last but I'll be cleaning my Ruger with the Shooter's Choice after each session.

This is a great product. The trick is to use a tight-fitting bore brush, scrub the wet bore with a few dozen strokes, let the bore sit wet for 15 minutes while you clean other gun parts, or reload, and then scrub the bore again with a few dozen more strokes. The soaking softens the leading so the second round of scrubbing can break the leading up into fine particles.

Best product I have found for removing lead fouling from reloads in my barrel and chamber.

This product can be VERY HELPFUL if used properly in cleaning SHOTGUNS - especially when rifled slugs/buckshot/etc. loads are used and lead fouling ensues. Start with two or three cycles of wet patch/bristle brush/wet patch with any regular solvent; this will loosen and remove general residue. Then do a cycle using the Lead Remover and (as suggested by other raters) let it stand for 10 minutes or so. After a final two or three more wet/bristle/wet cycles, my shotguns are usually in dandy shape. Using this "bifurcated" approach usually saves me 15 minutes or more each gun versus getting to the same clean level with regular solvent only.
