I think Silver makes a GREAT material for bullets, I've made some for
people but never got any feedback on performance or what they did to the
barrel.

Think "silver solder" fouling.

And what cleans the bore of this? There is Hoppes Elite for carbon
fouling, ammonia (or ammonia-free KG12) for copper, but what's used
for silver?

Silver as a contaminant is removable with nitric acid, or (slowly) with chlorine
bleach. But, it's soluble in lead; just run a few soft-lead rounds through the
barrel, then you just have lead to clean.

Ah..its not quite that easy. Take a lead bullet and try wiping off
silver solder from a piece of steel. Yeah..it will come off..with lots
and lots and lots of rubbing.
Lots

So shooting a werewolf is also an excuse to go through a box or
two of "regular" ammo? "To clear the bore", of course.

Now where are them werewolves...?
