Wrap a few twists of Chore Girl copper scouring pad material around a worn-out bore brush. Gos at it for a few minutes, then check again.

It won't wear the bore, but it takes lead out really well. When you are all done, de-copper the bore and oil it up.

i cant really get to it with a brush or scouring pad because its in the stabilizer. i tried to take some pics but you cant really tell from them but the stabilizer is bigger around than the rest of the bore. so lead gets trapped on the muzzle side of the stabilizer where the bullet hits.

Nice foot.

Probably not just lead buildup more likely carbon and lead. Soak it in Hoppes or WD 40 to soften it. Then use a dental pick to scrape it away.

Yup, that's the ticket right there.
