I have a (mostly) lead bullet stuck in the barrel of my .45-70 Gov’t rifle. A suggestion to remove it was to use NO LEAD. However, I am concerned that this 510 gr bullet might take longer to disolve than would be safe for the barrel to contain this product. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a black powder ball remover?

Lead is an element but most cast bullets are not pure lead (unless you are shooting a muzzle loader or paper patched bullets). There is at least some tin and likely antimony and arsenic.

I can’t comment on the product described, but it’s worth noting that the statement that “…lead is a mineral compound” isn’t right – lead is an element.

I wonder too Philip, especially since peroxide and vineager will foam when contacted with lead as well. It will also rust the heck out of a barrel. I have an old 1885 Winchester that is leaded up bad but I think I’ll just stick to patches and JB.

You know if good old moonshine will dissolve the lead in a souldered radiator used as a still condenser. Why would everclear not remove lead from a gun barrel? You might add some other oxidizing agents to give the chemical process some physical attributes scrubbing).

I smell something like hydrogen peroxide with acetic acid mixed up inside……

“NO-LEAD” Brushless Lead Remover is a good lead remover. I purchased this produt 2 years ago at the Dawson Creek, BC. Gun Show. The only problem I had was that this product is corrosive enough to eat through the plastic bottle it came in. I then stored it in a glass bottle. But when this bottle got placed on its side and the chemical came in contact with the screw lid and seal it started leaking again. Treat this product with extreme care.

EDITOR: Gordon, I talked with Terry Paul, President of Sharp Shoot R (the NO LEAD maker). Here is the story. A couple years ago, there were some bottles produced that came through, from the bottle-maker, with thin seams. This did cause some problems. Sharp Shoot R learned of the issue and switched to a different bottle-maker that builds a better, stronger product. Terry said that, if you call him, he will send you a FREE replacement bottle of NO-LEAD in the new, improved container.
