Go to your local household goods emporium and buy a Chore Boy Ultimate Scrubber. These are pure copper wool balls used to clean very dirty dishes and stainless appliances without doing harm to their surfaces. Be sure to get the authentic item, marked very clearly as being made from pure copper.

Tear one apart and wrap a piece around a bronze brush. Dip it into your bore cleaner and push it down the bore. It should be a very tight fit requiring some force; if not, wrap a bigger piece of the Chore Boy on the brush and try again. As the brush exits the barrel on the breech end, examine it for lead flakes. Unless you have an extreme case of leading, the Chore Boy should remove large amounts with each successive pass, and leave a completely clean bore in just a minute or so of work. I’ve rarely found a leading case that a few strokes with the Chore Boy didn’t cure.

There are such cases, however, and when I run across those I break out the Lewis Lead Remover. The LLR consists of fine bronze mesh disks which are wrapped around a conical rubber sleeve. The sleeve is adjustable; as it’s compressed by a threaded rod it increases in diameter. The expanding sleeve forces the mesh into the walls of the bore, conforming to the rifling and increasing the scrubbing action.
