When one of my friends owned a gun shop, over the years on multiple occasions, he brought me 22 handguns to clean that he couldn't. The barrels were so leaded that you couldn't see the rifling and a cleaning rod would not fit down the barrel... The common denominator was that each one of them had been shot with Remington Thunderbolt ammo. It usually took me a week or more to get all the lead out of those barrels. For whatever reason, soft lead or more probably really poor lube, Remington Thunderbolts lead like nothing else. I won't shoot the stuff even if someone gives it to me. I consider it junk. If you switch ammo, I think that you will find that your problem goes away...
