Hey folks, it has been a while since my last post, but I have a situation I need some advice on, and it may also be related to reloading. I have a handful of guns, including 2 rossi lever guns and 2 uberti single action revolvers. One of my revolvers is a 7.5" barrel in .45 Colt, and really gets a lot of lead fouling. Now I may not know a wit about what I'm talking about here, but it seems to me that this gun collects a lot of lead in the rifling, while I have never noticed this on my other guns. I've read and heard comments about lead and copper fouling, but this is the first time I have run into this. When I run a patch through the barrel with a jag, I can feel the lead. It feels like the patch is catching on jagged metal.
Here my questions:
1. Is this more common with .45 colt, or is it just easier to find in this caliber (I know that sounds nuts but I just haven't run across this in my othr calibers)?
2. Can anyone reccomend a cleaning chemical, brush, or method of cleaning that can get it removed?
3. I shoot both factory ammo and I reload, using a 250 grain lead round flat nose bullet, just like the factory ammo. I use Alliant Bullseye powder. Might this powder aid in the fouling?
Incidentally, my other guns are .357 magnum, of which I mostly shoot .38 special.
I can certainly use any advice or ideas from anyone. Thanks in advance for any replies!
