Gentlemen,
I'm having a heck of a time getting all of the lead out of my SP101. I've tried Hoppe's #9, Remington Bore Cleaner, Shooters Choice Lead Remover and Ballistol letting each one soak overnight. Where I'm having trouble is in the forcing cone area of the barrel and cylinder. Stubborn spots remain. The handloads that caused the problem are my target loads for my S&W Model 14, 148g BBWC at 775 fps. Let me here your cleaning technics and suggestions.
Many Thanks,
Colin
