yeah I wasn't about to try shooting a jacketed bullet through to clear the lead. Last time I used hoppes #9 and ALOT of elbow grease. luckily we fixed the main problem which was with the cylinder throats being WAY under spec. BUT I still get a little lead fouling now and then when I shoot ALOT (read 500+) in one day. I think I may need to polish the barrel throat as well. Who knows.

The only way to absolutely, positively get it all out down to the last lead atom is with the Outers Foul-Out reverse electroplating tool. Effortless, too!
It comes with chemicals for lead and copper and will "plate" a rod with the fouling. You may have to run it several times if the fouling is horrible or if bullet fouling is layered with powder fouling (which the Outers system doesn't touch), but it will clean right down to absolute pure steel.

I am aproaching 30 years as a competitive cast bullet shooter.
There are three ways to resonably remove lead from a bore with chemicals; 1) the foul out, I prefer the 5 cent verson from the hardware store, Google it and it should come up. The principal componet is household amonia. 2) A product called RB-17 which is the only product I ever found that would remove lead from a comp chamber in an IPSC race gun with just a tooth brush. RB-17 was written up in Front Sight, the IPSC magazine, and is almost unbelievable in how well it works to lift and disolve lead. It is a gel that smells of amonia. It will not remove blue if properly used. http://www.rb-treasures.com/product3.html 3) As mentioned the copper solvent version of Shooter's Choice will lift lead in a bore, but requires a long full bore soak of about a week. Best, Ed

Lead
I still use mercury. Have more than 20 lbs of it. When it gets too clogged with lead I boil it off in a closed loop system..and let the vapor cool down into a metal again. Lose almost none. works really great. Melt the lead again later.. in a well ventilated area. Could be deadly

Mercury
That is one of the problems with the do gooders in this country.. If they can mess with someone else.it must be a good thing. First off to condemn a place they had better do a lot of digging . I use a lab closed system..nothing lost. And i don't want to get started on schools..Hell they are too much into our family life now..Don't spank your kid..You might go to jail!! Too much gummit and not 'nuff common sense...and nobama is gonna give us MORE of the same...Sheesh!! BTW it isn't illegal to own mercury..or lead ...yet!!
