My method of “zero leading” for the cast bullets I make is powder coating them. I believe I could powder coat a small batch of lead shot just to test the feasibility. Imagine lipstick red birdshot!
I have been cleaning the bore of the above Lifter and finally a tight fitting oil patch is coming out without much trace of color. There never was any evidence of rust, must have been spent power or lead. The stages went from red rubbing compound on tight patches to a chunk of Frontier Pad with Hoppes and oil, spun up on a slotted wooden dowel in a cordless drill with intermittent passes with a bronze brush. The moderate pitting is of course still there, but I wanted the bores to be a clean as possible this side of the dreaded “hone”.
