.
There are threads here for that. My opinion Renaissance Wax is the best. Especially for brass and wood.
Start with this post, it has links to further discussion:

Amazon, Walmart and others sell it.

Thanks mate, will look though these as I better get onto it. You certainly don't want to get copper remover on the receiver as it dulls it quickly.

Another fun day at the range, still making heaps of copper but I think it's easing and it definitely doesn't affect accuracy. The groups are tightening up also. Heres some 55, 82 and 100y groups.
Pretty happy with the results.

That is some good shooting 'speedy! The furthest I've shot my BB Brass[20" barrel] is 50 and 75 yds. And it pretty much mirrors what you're doing. These are great rifles. Enjoy that one, but, I suspect you may be buying another. These are addicting.

Thanks Rifletom, I really do love this rifle! It's highly enjoyable to shoot and yes, another could well be on the cards!

Well done
Doesn't look like it is effecting accuracy much if at all, are they the hollow point or flat point XTP? For some reason the HP version has always shot a bit better than the FP version for me.
The Speer GDHP has been the most accurate 158gr I have tried.

Hi 220, yes they are the HP versions. Yes I'm pretty confident it's not affecting accuracy. It's just the clean up I'm struggling with at the moment. I'm still working on an active process of polishing the barrel carefully. I'm still holding high hopes I can achieve a point where it doesn't collect too much copper. I'd like to hear from any other dudes with .357's on how their copper is playing out if at all?

I must have posted that whilst under the influence of something or other. I could have sworn you had the Aussie flag up, and I know the difference. Aussie also has white stars vs NZs red ones. Weird...
