Re: Easy Lead Remover
btoran .... I'm gonna try it, when I lead up a barrel.
Actually, I'm looking forward to giving it a try and will be shopping for baby wipes the next time I "go to town" (which isn't very often).

Re: Easy Lead Remover
The baby wipes seem to be a real thing! Prior to taking my Savage 10FCM 308 Win to the smith to be recrowned, I wanted the barrel clean from the little bit of cast bullet work I had done. I put cotton patch wrapped around a brush through the barrel and on the forth it was clean. I then put a couple of baby wipe patches through and it picked up what the patches couldn't. I then put one patch through with Shooter's Choice lead remover and it picked up some but additional patches with the product where clean.
The yellow stain on the second cotton patch is just dried Shooter's Choice. I think the baby wipes with mineral spirits or turpentine for heavy leading would be a good solution for cleaning leaded barrels. This is my second test of the wipes and the first had the same results. Almost as good as Shooter's Choice.

Re: Easy Lead Remover
OK I'll add baby wipe to my next order of Depends.
Seriously thanks for making my tag line more pertinent for me than just being an ornery tag line. I'll give these baby wipes a try. Any specific brand better that another?

Re: Easy Lead Remover
I don't know, I only use the "Aldi" brand (with Aloe Vera ), because that were the cheapest ones.

Re: Easy Lead Remover
I just bought the Wal-Mart brand. Had a heck of a time finding them as I was looking for them where the bath soaps and other toiletries where. Finally asked a pregnant lady where I might find them and she took me across the store to the baby stuff. Never been there and I didn't dare tell her it was for cleaning lead from gun barrels.daboone wrote:Any specific brand better that another?

Re: Easy Lead Remover
It is the material. I didn't think about using Shooter's Choice Lead Remover on the baby wipe patches but I did yesterday and the combo removes a considerable amount more fouling after the straight patches appear clean. Did the same with a barrel that had a lot of jacketed bullet use but with Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber as the product and the results were the same except with the copper trace present.
The fibrous material does its own fouling, it is tough to get the wipe material off the brushes. If you run it through more than once, forget it.

Re: Easy Lead Remover
anyone want to guess how well a strip of coffee filter paper works when wrapped around a worn bore brush (need a tight fit, of course) .....
