I shot 100 rounds of .44 Special in my .44 Magnum revolver and now Magnum rounds will not chamber due to the ring of fouling in the chambers. What is the best way to remove the fouling?

They make specially sized stainless steel brushes for revolver chambers. They're shorter than standard bore brushes. You also need to clean the forcing cone with a Lewis lead remover.

I have the stainless chamber brushes and while they are a help it is still a lot of work to remove the fouling ring. I have a Lewis lead remover and the forcing cone is not an issue here. Will try the Kroil as suggested.

This with some 100% Copper "Chore Boy" wrapped around your caliber (bore) specific mop. The chore boy increases the diameter somewhat. It does not take much. It is a learning curve. Scrubs very well. It has sharp edges. Good for the barrel also. Kroil seems to get under everything. I think I remember reading it can permeate to one millionth of an inch. Between the cells in your skin even. I never use stainless brushes. Too hard.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

I'm surprised a gunswizard would have to ask such a question.

Asking questions is never a bad idea, learn lotsa stuff that way.

Get a .47 cal pistol brush, put it on a short length of cleaning rod, insert in cordless drill. Thoroughly wet all charge holes with powder solvent, run .47 brush thru on low speed thru all holes. Swab with powder solvent again, then use .44/.45 cal jag and clean patches to dry all holes. With 38/357 cylinders swap the .47 brush for a .40 brush. Works like a charm.

Gotta go with Steelhead on this one. Kroil in your gun box is a good thing.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
