Chore Boys
I go a bit further with the chore boys. I use a worn out .38 brush for my .45sand wind a bunch of the chore boy around it for a TIGHT fit and then work that up and down through the bore soaked in ed's red. this will get the lead out of the bore. Next I go after the copper. I can't really say what my preference is for this. I have found that if there is copper fouling in a barrel then it will lead badly, without copper fouling and a good lube, wet patch, drink a cup of coffee, dry patch, wet patch, dry patch, clean barrel.
