Someone recommended Chore Boy (Copper) ... which works GREAT on lead deposits.
Also, the plastic scrub pads (only those rated for TEFLON Pans!) do a good job for me.
Take a little bit and place it on the end of a cleaning rod, maybe add a little Ed's Red / Kroll and the job is quickly done!

I finally scrubbed it all out. Never got a reply from Bayou Bullets.
I have shot literally thousands of them (105 version) through a G42. load near max with HP-38 and have zero problems with barrel residue. Have gone hundreds of rounds between cleanings. Couple of quick runs with a Bore-Snake and the bore looks like a factory new one. I have found them to be very accurate.
Have also had similar results with their 200 RNFP 45 ACPs.

My biggest gripe is the lack of a reply from BB. Neither I nor my two shooting buddies will ever use them again. I am loading for my wife, myself and my son for GSSF matches. Five classes between us.
I find it very hard to believe that ANY properly mixed and cured coating would have problems at 9x19 velocities. No properly sized and lube cast bullet, even at 8 BHN, has any problems with 9x19 velocities.
I have never had any issues, and I have used them in HOT .38 Super and 10mm Auto loads with no barrel residue.
Acetone or mineral spirits should at least soften it if you soak the barrel for a day or so, but I've simply never had the problem.
However, I know that at least ONE coated bullet company does warn NOT to use TiteGroup as it simply burns too hot. I also know that one cast bullet company also recommended not using TiteGroup with lead bullets. It seems to me that TiteGroup can do OK for about 99% of users, but there definitely are those who find it to cause problems. My lead bullets do fine with it, except for lousy accuracy compared to other powders.

Suggest a different powder for use with them and I will try it. I wasn't aware of that particular warning.
