Lewis Lead Remover
Just got one for Xmas. If you shoot lead bullets through your revolvers, you need this tool. I just ran it through my "clean" Model 29 and it sure enough pulled out pieces of lead from the bore. I keep my velocities down when shooting lead rounds but you still get some residual leading.

Re: Lewis Lead Remover
I love mine. Do yourself a favor though and toss the aluminum rod that it came with and buy a cheap Dewey loop-end brass rod to use instead. Aluminum rods can wear away at your barrel. I also make sure to use a muzzle guide with it since it's too easy for the rod to make contact with the rifling otherwise.

Re: Lewis Lead Remover
And if like me, you are a "cheapskate", simply obtain some copper "chore boys" scrubbers and wrap a portion of the copper strands around the end of a brass loop. Works just like a Lewis Lead remover but does not require all of the fiddling. Dave_n

Re: Lewis Lead Remover
Bought two boxes of chore boy, haven't really tried it as the Lewis device seem more efficient and less hokey.
