If normal brushing didn’t remove it you’ll need to take additional steps. The easiest is to use a spiral-wound brush commonly called a Tornado. Available in bronze and stainless steel, it touches the surface being cleaned with the rounded side of the wires, as opposed to a standard brush which touches with the sharp cut end. A bronze Tornado will generally remove all but the worst leading without risk of damage to the bore.

Extra-tough Tornado brush, on right, will remove most leading easily.

Chore Boy copper scrubber, wrapped around a nylon brush, is the safest method to clean a very stubborn bore.

To use, dip the Tornado in cleaner and run it through the bore like any other brush. Before you pull it back out, take a look at the surface of the brush. Successful lead removal will show as small silver flakes on the yellow bristles. If you see those you know the brush is doing the job, and all that’s necessary is to repeat the process until successive passes show no lead flaking.

When you see no more flakes on the brush, examine the bore again. If the leading hasn’t been dramatically reduced, you’ll need to take stronger measures.
