A few weeks ago I used a cleaning rod and put that into the drill; and put on a 16 gauge brush and wrapped 0000 steel wool around it. I soaked it in Hoppes 9 solvent. I did the inside of my 1969 Ithaca 16 gauge featherlight deer slayer barrel. I got every last piece of lead out of that barrel. It took me over 45 minutes but it was worth it.
Before patterning my 11-87 for turkey hunting, should I do the same thing that I did in my Ithaca 16 gauge barrel except with a 12 gauge brush? Or should I do something different? The barrel has some plastic buildup from wads and it probably has a little lead buildup.
Thanks in advance
