Just for interest, do you know what cartridges/choke they are using?
Dirty Barrels

I’m shooting Express precision steel 28g 7.5 and find they dirty the barrels to a similar affect as standard cartridges.

I’ll second that. I’ve tried gamebore carts but they are heavy on recoil and mucky too. There’s lots of hype but not a lot of quality.

Am I the only one who expects dirty barrels when I shoot my gun? I just go by results

I don’t care either. But empty cartridges stuck in the chambers would annoy me as well.

true, that IS annoying, I have been getting stuck empties from a recent batch of Lyalvale English Sporters although I have used thousands of these in the past and am not sure that the problem is caused by dirty barrels
One of the guys that I shoot with had a lot of problems with English Sporters. Light loads which were depositing wads in the barrels of his gun. He ended up carrying a set of rods that I keep in my bag, to clear the barrels and finish the shoot . I believe the supplier exchanged the remainder for him.

I never had a problem until perhaps a year ago after the time they were bought out by Fiocchi coincidentally? they changed the "brass" which used to have Lyalvale on the back, now they just have two stars on the back, it's the brass that sticks.

I surely do, but if I can avoid excessive fouling (in comparison to other cartridges) I will, given similar results etc. While I like to look after the tools, less work means more shooting time.
