How to get copper fouling from brass frame Big Boy?
« on: August 29, 2011, 03:34:43 PM »
I have a lot of copper fouling in my .44 Mag Big Boy. I am reluctant to use the ammonia-based copper solvents for fear that it would harm the brass frame of my rifle. Any suggestions? Accuracy has fallen off and I want to shoot lead bullets which I understand will not shoot accurately if the barrel is copper fouled.

I would use Hoppe's Copper Solvent, with the barrel held in a vise, the receiver elevated from the muzzle quite a bit, and work carefully from the muzzle, hopefully with a bore guide for the cleaning rod.

Is it shooting poorly?
