[QUOTE="HandgunHTR, post: 2939033, member: 126524"] The lead and copper flakes that come off are not water soluble, so putting them down the drain or in the trash really isn't that big of a deal. If you use the "dip" (see below) then you are creating lead acetate, which is extremely soluble and highly toxic. Don't put that stuff in the drain or even touch it. Doing the dip isn't going to do much to get rid of the carbon buildup in your can. That is to remove lead deposits on .22LR cans and produces lead acetate (see above). That stuff is nasty. Don't do it. For a Ti body with SS baffles, I would plug one end with CLR, fill it up, plug the other end, shake the ever-loving crap out of it every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, drain it all out, then put it in your ultrasonic with clean water for a cycle or two to rinse it. That should clean most of that out. [/QUOTE]
