Starting to shoot a lot of lead in my pistols and want to try something different. However, I clean in the house and prefer to use stuff not so smelly. Have never used Shooters Choice Lead Remover.
Take a magnet to the store.Read the label carefully on the ChoreBoy copper pad -
Don't bother.
Will pick up some Choir Boy at local hardware.
Same here. RIG used to make good lead-free cloth, and I can't remember the other company that made it even before them. Stuff works great. Back when I was shooting a lot of .44 mag, it was the go-to for my Redhawk. But, I always found shooting one or two jacketed after a lot of lead worked best to get much of it out, before using the cloth.My favorite is the lead remover cloth. Get a brass (not plastic) jag tip and cut a patch from the lead remover cloth and clean as normal. If you have a good tight fit (shim with cloth patch if necessary, but it shouldn't be) a couple of passes will take it right out. It seems less harsh (to me) than the Chore Boy and simpler than the Lewis Lead Remover (which I also have but rarely use anymore).
Often just a good tight fit with a regular patch on a brass jag tip gets a lot of it.
