    Hi Experts.....What's the best powder solvent to use on a nickel-plated revolver? I believe one without ammonia would be the safest to use, yes? Thanks.....BT

    brass brush and hoppes #9 should do the trick.

    If that's not enough, try a small tin of JB Bore Paste.

    Both good answers. Try placing the rifle horizontally, wet the bore good with Hoppes, let set about 10 minutes, and scrub ALL the way thru and ALL the way back about 20 strokes (From the chamber, please), then patches. JB if the Hoppes and bronze brush don't do the trick (but 22 lead tends to be pretty soft, so should do it)

    And if you're lazy like me there's always "Outers Foul Out"
    Not that expensive, runs on AA batteries, and works great on lead.

    brownells sells a product that looks like a stainless steel brillo pad and i believe you can buy the same thing in most any grocery store. at any rate, you cut a couple of strands off the pad and wrap it in your bore brush then push it through the bore a couple of times. this works like a bandit to get the lead out of my .357 pistol after i have been firing cast bullets. i push a wet patch full of shooters choice through it first and let it sit for a couple of minutes before the brush process then clean it in my regular way.
