Heh heh, that reminds me, an idiot-savant friend of mine came up with something that embarassed the rest of our little group::
He poured out about 1/2 of a wide mouth bottle of Birchwood Casey Lead Remover, and stuffed about 20 abrasive cloth patches ( pre cut ) into the rest of the bottle.
Belt and Suspenders, there you go .... too dang simple for us telligent experienced people to come up with.
In My Experience, the abrasive cloths are terrific in taking out most of the lead ... might even take out all you need to take out ... but they still do no remove * ALL * the lead, down to bare metal.
...... also I gotta mention, if you are settling for fun easy to load 2 moa groups, you might consider playing with moly additive to your “lube/conditioner” ... just to hold down leading .. ( you will still usually find leading in that little ring right in front of your case neck, however, that might help accuracy, many just leave it alone ... ) ...
.......
There is some evidence that moly additives are slightly detrimental to extreme accuracy, defined by me as a whole big bunch of groups under 1/2 moa ... (g) .... but if you are shooting in that category, you need to be * GIVING * advice here, not asking for other's experiences.
If you get into the Moly User's Defensive Group ( as I am )... (g) ... watch for a possible drawback in that it might give less initial ignition ( usually bad ) .. because it engraves the bullet more smootherly, .... you might need more, or faster powder, and a hotter primer, or slightly enlarging primer flash holes ... 0.080 or so final dia. should do it ...
With moly use, I moly up the barrel first with a moly patch, then shoot forever with moly on bullets, and at the end of the day, a patch or two with ( ATF, Kroil ER would work ... ) and a final patch with a corrosion-fighter wetter of your choice. Moly does not have strong anti-corrosion properties. I never clean down to shiny steel, once you decide to follow the Moly Trail. I guess I should mention that moly use is still being debated; results ( or reports of rumored results ) vary greatly.
