There’s a really simple solution to cleaning lead out of the bore , really simple and really cheapSo I’ve got at least 4k rounds of 22lr through my Taurus TX22 and today I shot 300 rounds of CCI AR Tactical. Holy crap was the bore leaded bad.
Never ran into this before with other ammo.
Only thing I can think of is that it was due to my rapid firing? I have one of those McFadden machine lightning loaders which makes reloading blazing fast. I suspect the barrel was getting really hot which may have caused the lead to really “bond” to the bore?? I burned through that 300 rounds in probably 10-15 minute
Then again I’ve done this same type of shooting with lead round nose ammo and never had leading issues. I really hope it was a bad lot of ammo as I just got it from Cabelas last month.
But I still have about 4500 rounds of AR Tactical on hand…. it won’t cause leading.
Thoughts? I think going forward I’m going to bring a bore snake to the range so I can swab it out after every few mags while the bore/lead is still hot. Might make cleaning easier.
Right now I have the bore filled with Kroil. I do have some JB Bore cleaning compound I can try if the Kroil doesn’t work.
But I’m not going to tell you how because it’s a secret
