I've been loading for my Colt Combat Commander using 4.0 grains of Bullseye and 200gr SWC lead cast bullets. The rounds cycle great and are accurate. I'll put a couple of hundred rounds though it on a long day at the range and when I get home to clean it it's a mess. The barrel is lead fouled which isn't that much of a problem except for the amount of time it takes. I just take a .410 bore brush and scrub the crap out of it after filling the barrel with swabs soaked in solvent for an hour. When I hold the barrel up to the light I can see the lead sticking to the barrel in places and keep working to get it out. My question is will lead also build up in the chamber as this would be harder to clean than the barrel. I'm going to switch over to jacketed bullets to solve the leading but the powder build up from the bullseye seems exessive. Any suggestions for cleaning or different loads?
Thanks
