Cleaning and deleading the forcing cone is such a PIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not too bad on my 460 S&W mag as there is a decent gap between the top of the cone and the frame where I can get a strip of deleading cloth and rub it out, but last night I did a total strip and clean on my Ruger GP100 and there is BARELY enough space to get the cloth in the same spot. I also experimented with Mothers mag polish on the front face of the cylinder as opposed to deleading cloth and that worked awesome. Was wondering if any of you had any tricks to cleaning the forcing cone. I've tried many chemicals and none really work effectively on that thick blackish lead film buildup.
The deleading cloth does work very well but it's a LOT of rubbing to get the lead off, does anyone know how those lead cloths work ? Are they just some type of polishing componud ? They smell kinda funny as well.
