[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 768856, member: 25383"] I kinda gather that Lefty shoots a lot of cast lead as he seems to be right on with his post. I'll be first to tell you that I'm not all that upto speed with cast lead in a rifle. In a handgun I can get by OK, but rifles are a different animal. I can say for sure that the Shooters Choice Lead Out works very well, depending of course on just how bad the bore is fouled up. Once you have it to the point that there is little if any lead comming out of the bore from cleaning, then I also recommend cleaning it again with Shooters Choice rifle borecleaner or Montana Mikes. I like to at least start out with a good stiff nylon brush, and then will use a bronze brush only if I can't get there with the nylon brush. Avoid the stainless steel brushes! I've seen badly fouled bores (not mine) that after an all night soak and a nylon brush bring out sliver after sliver of lead. One poster commented on maybe they were using .452" bullets in a .458 bore. I know of nobody that sells a 400 grain 45 acp bullet yet. But it's quite possible that the guy sizing the cast lead bullets did it with a .453" bushing!! Lastly anyone shooting cast lead bullets would do well to get himself a copy of the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual. There's a ton of information in there, and a huge library of loading data gary [/QUOTE]
