Carbon removal pellets

[tenring]

My smith recommended these pellets for carbon removal. Brownells has been out of some calibers. Has anyone tried them and what were your results?

Air-gunners have been using them for decades. I seriously doubt you will remove carbon with felt. Powder residue, traces of lead, yes. Felt will capture hard particles, and push them through the bore. Perhaps not a wise thing to do. Be very careful when using dense felt.

I have some for 6mm. They make very good contact with the bore, and can be used with JB, and Iosso as well as solvents. There are other sources besides Brownells.

I love them. The best fit in the bore you will get, and with some iosso they get carbon out very well. Use them as needed. I like them enough I use them instead of patches, I will wipe them off between passes and apply more solvent.

Hi, I used them to get rid of a carbon ring in a .22 rimfire rifle, put a little bore tech, and little iosso paste, got the carbon ring out.

Alex, Boyd, et al, can you describe your process?

Thanks.
