<i>We have used NO-LEAD Cleaner in rimfire benchrest rifles similar to this modified Suhl 150-1. It helped restore accuracy with minimal brushing.</i></p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="https://accurateshooter.net/Blog/nolead01.gif" alt="NO-lead brushless lead remover Wipe-out Sharp Shoot-r" hspace="10">Made by the same smart folks that created Wipe-Out™, and Carb-Out™, <a href="https://sharpshootr.com/no-lead/" target="_blank">NO-LEAD Brushless Lead Remover™</a> really works. Honest. If you are an active rimfire shooter, or if you shoot cast lead-alloy bullets in centerfire rifles and pistols, you should try this product. We now use NO-LEAD in our rimfire benchrest rifles, and in some centerfire guns that receive a steady diet of soft-alloy cast bullets (90%+ lead). (With rimfire guns, you don&#8217;t need to use NO-LEAD very often &#8212; maybe every 300-400 rounds unless you have a real fouler of a barrel.)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve got stubborn lead fouling in a rimfire barrel, or on a pistol&#8217;s muzzle brake/compensator, you should definitely give this stuff a try. We don&#8217;t know how but it does soften lead deposits. The manufacturer says you don&#8217;t need brushes, but we found that a bit of brushing (after NO-LEAD application) can help remove more serious lead build-up.</p>
<p>Yes we were surprised to find a lead remover that <em>really works</em>. We tried a half-dozen other lead &#8220;cleaners&#8221; that promised to dissolve lead and most of them, we discovered, are nearly useless. There&#8217;s a reason for that, as the lead alloys used in bullets don&#8217;t react to typical petrochemical-based solvents. It took the Wipe-Out chemists over five years to perfect this <strong>water-based solution</strong> that really does dissolve lead.</p>
<p><strong>NO-LEAD Cleaning Procedure &#8212; Read Carefully</strong><br />
<a href="https://sharpshootr.com/no-lead/" target="_blank">NO-LEAD Lead Remover</a> is a clear, red gel that is easy to apply. Just swab it in your bore (or on muzzle brakes) with wet patches or bore mop and let it sit for a few minutes. (The manufacturer says you can leave the NO-LEAD for up to 20 minutes, but that long of a dwell time does not seem necessary with our rimfire barrels.) When it contacts lead it will start to foam and you&#8217;ll see that the NO-LEAD solvent turns a pastel pink when it dissolves lead. The pink comes from the formation of lead oxide. After the recommended dwell time, simply patch out the dissolved lead deposits (you can also use a nylon brush for stubborn lead build-up).</p>
<p>NOTE: After cleaning, it is very important that you <font color="#cc0000"><strong>get all the NO-LEAD out of your barrel, and neutralize it</strong></font>. We recommend following the application of NO-Lead with Wipe-out or Patch-Out to neutralize the NO-LEAD, clear the bore, and remove residual carbon and copper fouling. If you don&#8217;t have Wipe-Out or Patch-out, flush the barrel thoroughly with Rubbing Alcohol or even a solution of Dawn dish detergent &#8212; then re-oil the bore.</p>
<p><strong>Be Sure to Neutralize NO-LEAD After Use</strong><br />
Remember that N0-LEAD is a strong, <strong>slightly acidic chemical that needs to be neutralized</strong> after use. If you leave it on a nice, blued barrel for too long, it can harm the bluing. <strong>NO-LEAD will remove all the surface oils from the barrel bore</strong>. For this reason it is recommended that you neutralize NO-LEAD with Wipe-Out, or Patch-Out, which both contain effective corrosion inhibitors. If you don&#8217;t have those products, once you&#8217;ve flushed the NO-LEAD with something like rubbing alcohol, then follow with a gun oil. Caution: A petroleum-based gun oil will NOT, by itself, neutralize NO-LEAD. You need to neutralize first, then apply the corrosion inhibitor (or do it all in one step with Wipe-Out or Patch-Out).</p>

NO-LEAD Lead Remover costs $18.55 for an 8 oz. squeeze bottle with a flip-top spout. This product is sold directly by Sharp Shoot-R Precision Products through <a href="http://www.sharpshootr.com/no-lead.htm" target="_blank">Sharpshootr.com</a>, or you can purchase NO-LEAD through many other online vendors.

<i>We have used NO-LEAD Cleaner in rimfire benchrest rifles similar to this modified Suhl 150-1. It helped restore accuracy with minimal brushing.</i></p>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/nolead01.gif" alt="NO-lead brushless lead remover Wipe-out Sharp Shoot-r" hspace="6">Made by the same folks that created Wipe-Out™, and Carb-Out™, the <a href="https://sharpshootr.com/no-lead/" target="_blank">NO-LEAD Brushless Lead Remover™</a> really works. Honest. If you are an active rimfire shooter, or if you shoot cast lead-alloy bullets in centerfire rifles and pistols, you should try this product. We now use NO-LEAD in our rimfire benchrest rifles, and in some centerfire guns that receive a steady diet of soft-alloy cast bullets (90%+ lead). (With rimfire guns, you don&#8217;t need to use NO-LEAD very often &#8212; maybe every 300-400 rounds unless you have a real fouler of a barrel.)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve got stubborn lead fouling in a rimfire barrel, or on a pistol&#8217;s muzzle brake/compensator, you should definitely give this stuff a try. We don&#8217;t know how but it does soften lead deposits. The manufacturer says you don&#8217;t need brushes, but we found that a bit of brushing (after NO-LEAD application) can help remove more serious lead build-up.</p>
<p>Frankly we were surprised to find a lead remover that really works. We tried a half-dozen other lead &#8220;cleaners&#8221; that promised to dissolve lead and most of them, we discovered, are nearly useless. There&#8217;s a reason for that, as the lead alloys used in bullets don&#8217;t react to typical petrochemical-based solvents. It took the Wipe-Out chemists over five years to perfect a new <strong>water-based solution</strong> that really does dissolve lead.</p>
<p><strong>NO-LEAD Cleaning Procedure &#8212; Read Carefully</strong><br />
<a href="https://sharpshootr.com/no-lead/" target="_blank">NO-LEAD Lead Remover</a> is a clear, red gel that is easy to apply. Just swab it in your bore (or on muzzle brakes) with wet patches or bore mop and let it sit for a few minutes. (The manufacturer says you can leave the NO-LEAD for up to 20 minutes, but that long of a dwell time does not seem necessary with our rimfire barrels.) When it contacts lead it will start to foam and you&#8217;ll see that the NO-LEAD solvent turns a pastel pink when it dissolves lead. The pink comes from the formation of lead oxide. After the recommended dwell time, simply patch out the dissolved lead deposits (you can also use a nylon brush for stubborn lead build-up).</p>
<p>NOTE: After cleaning, it is very important that you <font color="#cc0000"><strong>get all the NO-LEAD out of your barrel, and neutralize it</strong></font>. We recommend following the application of NO-Lead with Wipe-out or Patch-Out to neutralize the NO-LEAD, clear the bore, and remove residual carbon and copper fouling. If you don&#8217;t have Wipe-Out or Patch-out, flush the barrel thoroughly with Rubbing Alcohol or even a solution of Dawn dish detergent &#8212; then re-oil the bore.</p>
<p><strong>Be Sure to Neutralize NO-LEAD After Use</strong><br />
Remember that N0-LEAD is a strong, <strong>slightly acidic chemical that needs to be neutralized</strong> after use. If you leave it on a nice, blued barrel for too long, it can harm the bluing. <strong>NO-LEAD will remove all the surface oils from the barrel bore</strong>. For this reason it is recommended that you neutralize NO-LEAD with Wipe-Out, or Patch-Out, which both contain effective corrosion inhibitors. If you don&#8217;t have those products, once you&#8217;ve flushed the NO-LEAD with something like rubbing alcohol, then follow with a gun oil. Caution: A petroleum-based gun oil will NOT, by itself, neutralize NO-LEAD. You need to neutralize first, then apply the corrosion inhibitor (or do it all in one step with Wipe-Out or Patch-Out).</p>

<i>Here&#8217;s a record-setting rimfire benchrest rifle owned by our friend Joe Friedrich.</i></p>
<p><img width="270" class="alignright" hspace="6" src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/eley300x150.png" alt="Eley rimfire barrel cleaning with felt oil">The experts at <a href="http://www.eley.co.uk/en/" target="_blank">ELEY Limited</a>, top rimfire ammo-maker, have posted a helpful guide to cleaning rimfire barrels. We reprint highlights of the article below, but we suggest you read the <a href="http://www.eley.co.uk/en/the-bulletin/clean-rifle-eley-way/" target="_blank">full article</a> on the Eley website: <a href="http://www.eley.co.uk/en/the-bulletin/clean-rifle-eley-way/" target="_blank"><strong>How to Clean Your Rifle the ELEY Way</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Editor&#8217;s Comment: <em>This is not the <i>only</i> way to clean a rimfire barrel. There are other procedures. This is the method recommended by ELEY based on decades of experience with the top smallbore shooters in the world, including many Olympic Gold Medalists. Some shooters have been very successful cleaning less frequently, or using different types of solvents. The ELEY method is a good starting point.</em></p>
<p>
<h3>Rimfire Barrel Cleaning</h3>
</p>
<p>1. Clean the extension tube with a 12 gauge brush and felt or tissue moistened with solvent.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-672 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-1-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-1" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>2. Smoothly insert a cleaning rod guide into the receiver.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-673 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-2-cleaning-rod-guide-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-2-cleaning-rod-guide" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>3. Apply a dry felt to the cleaning rod adapter and push it through the barrel to the muzzle in one slow steady movement. As the felt is dry it may feel stiff.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-674 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-3-apply-dry-felt-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-3-apply-dry-felt" width="150" height="150" /> <img class="alignnone wp-image-675 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-3-apply-dry-felt-through-the-barrel-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-3-apply-dry-felt-through-the-barrel" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>4. Remove the soiled felt and pull back the cleaning rod.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-676 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-4-remove-felt-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-4-remove-felt" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<h2><span id="more-57935"></span></h2>
<p>5. Apply a new felt to the cleaning rod adapter and moisten it with Rimfire Blend / cleaning oil.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-677 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-5-cleaning-oil-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-5-cleaning-oil" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>6. Insert the moistened felt into the barrel and push it to the muzzle with short forward movements.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-678 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-6-felt-into-barrel-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-6-felt-into-barrel" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>7. Remove the soiled felt and pull back the cleaning rod through the barrel.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-679 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-7-remove-soiled-felt-from-rod-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-7-remove-soiled-felt-from-rod" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>8. Clean the rod with tissue to avoid getting solvent on your hands.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-680 size-thumbnail" src="http://eley.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-8-clean-rod-150x150.jpg" alt="ELEY-how-to-clean-your-rifle-cleaning-step-8-clean-rod" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>9. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8, until the felts are no longer dirty or soiled.</p>
<p>10. After steps 1-9, Eley recommends running an <strong>oiled felt</strong> down the bore. Before the next use of your rifle use a cleaning rod to push a clean dry felt through the barrel to the muzzle in one steady movement. Repeat this until there are no signs of oil on the felt.</p>
<blockquote><p><b>Clean More Thoroughly After 200-300 Rounds</b><br />
IMPORTANT: Eley stresses that the procedure outlined above is a basic cleaning procedure. After a few hundred rounds, Eley recommends brushing the barrel to remove lead deposits:</p>
<p>&#8220;Intensive cleaning of your rifle will be needed after every 200–300 rounds. The barrel should be cleaned with a bronze brush. In order to do this you will need to push the brush in the direction of the muzzle and repeat three times. A bronze brush is used as it is the only tool that can be used to completely remove lead remnants.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

If you leave it on a nice, blued barrel for too long, it can harm the bluing. <strong>NO-LEAD will remove all the surface oils from the barrel bore</strong>. For this reason it is recommended that you neutralize NO-LEAD with Wipe-Out, or Patch-Out, which both contain effective corrosion inhibitors. If you don&#8217;t have those products, once you&#8217;ve flushed the NO-LEAD with something like rubbing alcohol, then follow with a gun oil. Caution: A petroleum-based gun oil will NOT, by itself, neutralize NO-LEAD. You need to neutralize first, then apply the corrosion inhibitor (or do it all in one step with Wipe-Out or Patch-Out).</p>
