Ultrasonic just gets it wet. Brush won't do anything. This isn't carbon buildup, it's lead.Ultrasonic and a brush?

Yes, if you run a comp and bullets with exposed lead bases. Plated bullets run a lot cleaner.Is that lead build up normal?
It doesn't matter. As long as there's nothing that can cause an obstruction you'll be fine.The comp on my 9mm PCC is caked in lead. Should I remove it or leave it as is? What's the best way to get this stuff off? It's hard as a rock, scraping isn't doing anything. This is less than 500 rounds of buildup shooting exposed base FMJ.

^This, or, the melting point of lead is just a bit over 600 degrees F. So, you can melt the lead off of the steel comp with an ordinary propane torch or even a butane kitchen torch. Avoid breathing fumes, and work out in advance how you'll hold the comp without getting burned, but the lead will melt easily.If you have a Lee Pot, just dip it in some molten lead and it will come right off.
