Handloading is a time consuming hobby many just can’t entertain. Bullet casting in particular consumes a large amount of hours. I would have to venture that the majority of us just don’t have that luxury of time to cast and load. Most will simply buy the cheapest bullet they can get and make up some blasting ammo, until they discover the results in their barrel and comp. Then thy go to FMJ or TMJ.
Back to the original question; spray your comp. I have gotten a sample of a product called “Gas Piston Parts and Choke Tube Cleaner” from Slip 2000. They claim it will work well in a TAMG Cutts. I have a nasty one to try it on and will do so and report back soon.
By the way Phil, if you are ever in the area I have 2200# of Linotype, I’ll fix you up with an arm load. I’d ship it but I don’t think you’d like the bill.

A long time ago I was told by a gunsmith that in heavily leaded barrels that mercury if left to stand overnight would remove lead from the barrel. (This is a very dangerous practice due to the toxicity of the metal) but it blends with the lead similar to the way it does silver. The mercury can be strained from the lead once it is removed from the barrel. The procedure does require plugging the barrel and filling it with the mercury.

The can I have was marketed by LINDE Welding supply (I believe it's soy oil and Co2 as a propellant) but there are several others.
No evidence of buildup or abnormal corrosion, etc....doesn't seem to hurt the finish at all and cleans right off in my dunk bucket.
