Barrel Leading - Page 2

longo244 · March 26th, 2008, 01:32 AM

I shoot 230 LRN bullets under 3.4 grains of Clays (45 Auto) and I experience minimal leading. One thing I do is after I'm done shooting is run 5-10 jacketed bullets down the barrel. This cleans out some of the lead fouling and makes cleaning a breeze.

Not a good idea to do that. You might get away with it for a while, but you could have catastrophic pressure spikes. Read the link in my post #3.
