I would never do it.

Job 1 is to find out why you are getting leading in the first place. Lead too soft? Lead too hard? Improper bullet fit and more.

Soak the inside of the barrel with a good lead cleaner and let it sit for an hour or more. Use a nylon brush for light leading or a bronze brush wrapped in copper chor-boy for heavier leading. That will get the bore clean but again, find out why you are leading in the first place.
