Was using Remington Thunderbolt in my PPK/s and the barrel is boogered up with build up, can hardly get the cleaning brush through.
Any good products for dissolving this mess besides Hoppes 9?
The first thing stop using Thunderbolts they are known for this. I buy my copper wool from Brownells it is made from copper. The junk you find at wal mart is copper coated steel wool. Soak it with Kroll and scrub then repeat as often as necessary to clean the lead out. Out side is the best place to do this.
chireboy copper is good to use and this is best solvent I’ve found. I did same thing to a victory couple years ago and was at wits end til I got this

You too? My Victory was leaded something crazy from THunderbolt. The stuff isn't good in autoloaders.
Go to the grocery store and buy a all copper chore boy pot scrubber. Make sure it says ALL COPPER... Cut out a strand of it and wrap it around your bore brush and that will pull the lead out.
I would say a Lewis Lead Remover but I believe that 32 cal is as small as the go.
Looks like Chore Boy did the trick, anybody want some thunderbolts?
great! you got the lead out!!!!!
I had trouble finding Copper chore boy ;however,
aluminum foil
wrap around a cleaning jag is "magic"
it does not harm steel in any way.
I safely clean a Winchester 1892 barrel that had barrel fouling very badly.
now shoots Missouri bullet casts bullets. it's exceptionally accurate.
also, use aluminum foil on my steel/chrome bike rims that got rusted. like new!
