Any Objection to Kroil

[Arc Angel]

My custom pistolsmith, David Sams recommended NEVER shooting jacketed bullets after lead before cleaning the barrel. It can result in oversizing or expanding the diameter of your barrel by a measurable amount. This may not concern you but might concern those of us that are looking at keeping our guns in top condition over the long haul. Shooting lead after jacketed is not a problem.

Your pistolsmith is absolutely correct! All that happens when lead bullets are followed by FMJ bullets is that the lead inside the barrel becomes, 'ironed out'; it isn't removed; but, instead, remains inside the barrel, coats the bore; and, thereby, effectively decreases the bore's inner diameter.

Nice catch!

Kroil my gun cleaner of choice. It certainly is NOT a lubricant.
When my guns get their annual detailing I use Butch's or Sweets 7.62 for copper fouling. For a quick clean up after the range Kroil for powder fouling and Mobil1 or grease as needed for lubricating.

Wow!

I have a doppelganger.
