Thanks, x101airborne. Another great idea! Guessing many old Blackhawks could benefit from lapping. I believe Beartooth Bullets has all necessities.

This has been a good thread. Forum Members immediately switched the topic to how to keep the deposits from getting there as opposed to how to remove it...

But at least it's given me impetus to address problems these guns might have. Still looking for a Hi-Tek solvent but there's probably nothing that will solve deposits except not getting them.

Have you contacted the company that makes the coating to see what they say? hi-performancebulletcoatings.com/hi-tek-supercoat-powder/

I use HiTek bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. and have experienced no problem removing any fouling. I use Hoppe's No. 9, saturate the bore and let it set for a few minutes, scrub with a stainless steel bore brush and dry patches. No problems.

P.S. Before the screaming starts, note that I have used proper sized SS bore brushes lubed with Hoppe's No. 9 for maybe thirty years with no problems.

Before the screaming starts, note that I have used proper sized SS bore brushes lubed with Hoppe's No. 9 for maybe thirty years with no problems. Thanks, Bob. I tried a bristle brush wrapped with Chore Boy (or Big 45 metal cleaner) both dry and with Montana X-Treme bore cleaner. At least it smells stronger than Hoppe's. And yes, my eyes bulged a little when I read stainless steel. Good to know that may be an option. By the way guys, cylinders are on the way to Fermin for diagnosis and treatment if necessary. After that, I'll have to address bullet diameter. As mentioned, I sized to .410 to fit the tight chambers. That may be the issue. If crimped taper crimped, as suggested by encore64, that might help them fit chambers. Fermin also mentioned they might not fit because of too much roll crimp. These and many other good suggestions in this thread! Thanks to everyone who participated! I'll post any milestones in this process.

Once again, Singleacions members are asked to an answer an unwashed question. innocence only carries so far. At some point it is helpful to know:
* Make. * Model. * Cartridge. * Load, detailed as possible.
Where a cast bullet is involved, it helps to have SLUGGED the BORE to measure GROVER DIAMETER with a micrometer. Not a vernier, digital, or dial caliper, as these are gardening tools.
SLUGGING the bore provides information often more important the groove diameter. Done as we have described on Singleactions, you detect find tight or loose spots deadly to accuracy, which simultaneously invoke BULLET ABRASION known as LEADING.
Back before many of today’s shooters were born, it was standard procedure to slug the bore before shooting cast bullets. Folks here take pains to answer questions devoid of clues.
Clues critical as moving your body to the target. David Bradshaw

What do high volume trap and skeet shooters use for bore solvent? All their rounds are encased in plastic.

The Lewis Lead remover might be your best bet Brownells has them. Might be worth contacting Choice ammunition in Montana (Choiceammunition.com) they load a lot of the hi tek coated bullets so might have some ideas on your problems and ideas on cleaning it up. Hope this helps.
