lead fouling

Ive got lead fouling really bad in my slug barrel. It is rifled and I cant get it out at all. Ive tried everything from blue wonder to hopps and nothing gets it out. Its my fault. Someone gave me a bunch of rifled slugs and I used those instead of sabots. Ive got lead smeared the whole way down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Larry

    I know this question has probably been asked ad nauseum but, I don't know the answer. How do you clean lead fouling out of a barrel?

    I have found 3 threads on removing lead in the bore dating back to 2004.
    I have a question about not getting it. I was given 150 rounds of Remington UMC 38 special rounds. Not wadcutters but bullet shaped lead rounds. If I run them through my S&W 357 65-3, will I get lead fouling that quickly? I have never shot anything except FMJ in this weapon and don't want to take chances. Free ammo is a good thing unless it causes problems. Then free isn't!
    Thanks.

    I would use one of the Outter's Foul Out electical removal units. I use mine to remove lead from pistol barrels.

    Maybe one of the gunsmiths in your area has one of the electronic units. They work, but they are pretty expensive for a one time deal, so $25-$30+ to the "smith" would be better. Of course if no one in your area has got one you could buy it then rent it out to get your money back[;)]

    If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
