You do not need that expensive tool (nothing against it, it's a fine product)

Just go to the grocery store in the dish cleaning section and find a copper Chore Boy scrubber(like heavy steel wool) Wrap a few strands of it around a old 45 cal brush and it cleans out the lead. It needs to be fat and have a real snug fit put some oil on it to help.

EDIT:

I would not reduce the 2400 powder charge very much. You can get in as much trouble under charging as over charging. As you mentioned the Alliant lists a MAX load of 20 grs for the 250 gr bullet. 90% (10% less)of that is 18 grs. Which is what the Lyman example also shows
