They basically said it was ruined and barrel replacement was the only option. I would think since lead has a much lower melting point than steel, that it could be heated and melted out but what do I know? I enjoyed shooting it when I was younger. Now, since I reload, chasing D.E. brass where ever in the county it ends up (if I can even find it), I sold it. I'll stick with shooting my hot 10mm's. It's above .357 mag and approaching low end .41 mag levels.
