No drama takes less than a minute to clean the cylinder holes with the choreboy/old brush/piece of cleaning rod/drill.

The ring will build up faster when you use rock hard bullets (24bhn) like the op with light loads. Couple that with the hard lube and bevel base.

One range session.....

I used to shoot .38s first and .357s second. If I shoot about 20-30 rounds I can't get the ..357s in. Now I only reaload the specials in .357 cases. I was adverse to taking a brush to the range with me.

And some powder/bullet combinations are pretty dirty. If I were to shoot jacketed .38s with clean powder I'm sure I could go longer without cleaning. But all of my loads are dirty, especially with lube in groove lead.

Get to your nearest Ace Hardware and buy some "Chore Boy" copper scouring pads. Unroll one of the pads a little (2" or so) cut it off and wrap it around a brass bore brush. Work that brush in the cylinder chambers, you should easily remove the fouling/carbon/lead residue. I have an old aluminum cleaning rod that I cut the handle off of, and I chuck it in an electric drill to clean the chambers. Run for about 20 sec on medium speed in each cylinder chamber and you should be good to go. I use Kroil as a lube, but CLP, or even motor oil will work.

Don't get discouraged, this technique is proven, safe, and it just plain works!
