Like to hear your preferences for lead removal, or could you BTT. Thanks in advance.....

I ussually do not have a lead problem, but when I do about 2or 3 cylinders of jacketed bullets get it out of the barrel.
then clean more if needed.

Ditto - if I know I'm going to be shooting some bullets that may lead and particularly when working up loads, I'll load the last five rounds in the box with jacketed bullets, adjusting the powder charge for pressure if needed.

A Lewis Lead remover works quite well also, but the jacketed bullet thing is quicker and funner (technical term).

Same here. 308, maybe the question we should be asking YOU is what are you shooting to get all the leading problems and how hot are you trying to shoot it. Proper cast bullets, loaded properly shouldn't give you much of a problem unless something else is afoot.

Use a properly sized bullet with a good lube like LBT blue and you shouldn't have too much of a leading problem, but if you do, jacketed bullets to seem to remove it pretty well. I would still clean the barrel with a good powder solvent after the lead and prior to the jacketed to get that out of there before pushing gliding metal over the top of it.

I run a cylinder full of jacketed bullets when I am finished. It will get most of the lead out of the barrel, but not the cylinder. If I can't get it clean with a brush I will put a cleaning rod in my electric drill a new brush and power clean the cylinder rinsing the brush and cylinder with WD-40. I only use a brass brush for this method not stainless steel I feel they are to aggressive and might cause damage. I use WD-40; spray it on my Stainless Steel revolvers to clean the black residue off the cylinders. It works very well better than most of the commercial bore cleaners I have tried. After I have cleaned my revolver I wipe down the outsides and run a patch through the cylinders and bore with gun oil. WD-40 is a solvent not a lubricant and while stainless steel guns are less susceptible to rust they can corrode.

What are you shooting? I shoot thousands of cast boolits a year with NO lead---Zip. I have not found even one speck in my revolvers. Of course, I only use Felix lube and hard cast.
