lewis lead remover FA 44 mag clean only 1/3 of forcing cone

[high ground]

 bought a new lewis lead remover for my F/A 44 mag due to the shape of the cleaning cone on the lewis lead remover it only cleans 1/3 of the way down the forcing cone i have tried using two brass screens no go the cone of the lead remover and internal dimensions of F/A forcing cone different  just trying to clean it up no more cast bullets any suggestions i would appreciate them thanks high ground

Just shoot a cylinder full of jacketed bullets through it. The lead will tin to the copper and voila...it's as lead free as it needs to be.

do'nt think jacketed rounds will clean the outer area of the cone I use a dental pick that came with a gun tool kit for lead on the cone and lead remover solvent

I have 3 FAs that shoot cast bullets and have never had a problem with leading.  Once you get it cleaned up, I would suggest a change bullets.

High Ground, several company's make what is called the Lead Away cloth. Usually 10''x10'',or 12''x12''. Cut a small square,1''x1'' or so out of the larger one. Wrap it around either a jag, or, what I prefer, a bronze bore brush, that's fairly worn out. Work it back and forth in the cylinder, and the cloth will turn black, and remove the lead. Take what's left of the larger piece, and put it in a ziploc baggie, so it doesn't dry out. Being an FA, this will work quite nicely. You do have to be careful with the Lead Away cloth on blued guns, as if left on the outside, the chemical can remove the blueing. I have used it on blued guns, just being very careful to wipe the outside of the gun off when I'm done. gypsyman
