I've been researching the various ways to clean lead out of a barrel and from a tip I stumbled upon from another thread I tried one of these pads and it worked really well! The particular type of cleaning pad that I used wasn't "Chore Boy" but it was a copper pad from "Quickie" that I picked up at Walmart. I simply unraveled some of it and trimmed it up to make a square and placed it over the chamber end of my barrel and pushed it through with the pistol rod and .45 jag I have. I worked the jag back and forth at the throat, where the lead was, and I could see the lead falling out of the muzzle! Whoever recommended this, Thank You! For those that are still skeptical, try it! It works! Simp

Chore boy works wonders, difference is I place mine on brush for pass thru. Usually four or five passes and only requires a clean patch for completion.

Aw man! I forgot about using the brush! I'll do that next time. I'm sure it'll work better than the jag. Thanks for the reminder. Simp
