Videos tagged with Lubricant Residue

This 'Smith Busters' episode debunks the myth that shooting jacketed bullets can effectively clean lead fouling from a firearm barrel. While jacketed bullets may remove some powder residue and lubricant, they primarily iron lead into the barrel's grooves rather than removing it. For proper lead removal, using a dedicated lead solvent and brushing is recommended. This is particularly important for .22 rimfire conversions in AR-15s, where wax and lubricants can build up, impacting accuracy when switching back to centerfire ammunition.
