I use BC Bore Bore Scrubber and a good brass brush for cleaning. Think I need to do anything else to clean out the lead I may have built up by shooting naked?
Use a Slightly wore Bore Brush Wrapped with Copper Chore Boy, Make sure it’s the real Copper Stuff. Also make sure you use a Good Quality Bore Brush for Muzzleloaders that is Looped through and will NOT pull apart
Here is a GOOD loop through Brush, these Will NOT pull apart
Here is a Junk Press fitted Brush, These can, and Will pull apart, it’s happened to MANY people including myself, in a Sidelock Muzzleloader this is a Booger! If it ever happens, You can use a Copper tube that just fits inside the bore, slide it down and push it over the Brush, then extract. The best Method is to use a Good Loop Through Muzzleloader Brush to begin with
Here is Copper Chore Boy, if you are unsure if it is the real stuff? Use a magnet to test it, You want the Genuine Copper Stuff, The others can/will Scratch, and Damage the Bore
Wrap the Chore Boy Around a Brush, a Slightly Worn Brush is best. Clean you barrel good, and Work this Chore Boy Brush back n forth, 50 Strokes or So, Follow up with a Nice tight patched Jag with a piece of 0000 Steel wool over the Patch, Get this TIGHT, 15-20 Strokes. You will be Unleaded at this point
