Not sure if this is the right group or not, but I have a couple general questions about cleaning a firearm.
Do you see any problem with letting the inside of a barrel soak overnight to let lead loosen up? I'm using Hoppe's #9. And I've also run Shooters Choice lead remover down the barrel, but I'm not soaking with that. A couple of us went to the range last Saturday and shot less than 100 rounds through a Taurus PT92 AFS.
Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I've always had trouble "getting the lead out". It seems to me to be a lot of work and I was wondering about letting it soak overnight after running a wet patch down the barrel.
Thanks.
