It appears that the best hope of finding a lead solvent is among the many gun cleaning products. Hoppe #9 has been mentioned, but when I did some research, I really got a bit confused. I think there is little distinction made between a true "solvent" and a cleaner. As best I recall from my highschool chemistry days, nothing appeared (that I recall) to dissolve lead - but, that was a while ago. So again, it would appear that if any body would have something to dissolve lead it would be the gun crowd. For instance, on some of the "Gun" talk lists, I have seen reference to Hoppe #9 as a "Powder" cleaner and to Shooter's Choice Lead Solvent as a "lead solvent". Actually I've seen Hoppe referred to for lead removal as well- but, doesn't claim it dissolves lead. If Hoppe is primarily a "powder" remover then that may explain it not working as well as we had hoped. I just asked my wife to pick up some on her trip to support the economy and then found indications on the web. that what I might really want is Shooter's Choice Lead Solvent - but that could be just another "cleaner" rather than a true dissolve of lead. I suspect that most of these products may be cleaners rather than solvents despite what they are called. Anyone really know?
