My sentiment exactly Hamid having shot many brands and rarely clean my barrels never found it a problem rankster:I really don't get this fouling business, what exactly is it ? So you look down the barrel and they look blocked :dontknow: or do you see piles of plastic shards clinging to the sides ? How do you know it's plastic and not just soot or powder and why the obsessive compulsion to remove all trace of it as soon as you get home or the need to shoot shells that leave the barrel shiny !
They clearly don't do any harm as such because if they did you'd be in trouble after the very first shot of the day.
No idea ...why ? Are you thinking for using it for something else :laugh:Nic, what is that expanding oil like on skin ???
Good idea.I was trained to keep guns clean ( not soaked in oil ) all moving parts , and barrels spotless shining clean , I don't like plastic wad fouling , good condition = good second hand value , most people buying cast a eye down the barrel , muck etc = not looked after !
If you imagine nice shiny chambers, cones, barrel...then shshoved a white candle in there, then removed it...you would get waxy lines down, your shiny cone...looks like that.I really don't get this fouling business, what exactly is it ?

Exactly like my barrels then. :lol: :lol:If you imagine nice shiny chambers, cones, barrel...then shshoved a white candle in there, then removed it...you would get waxy lines down, your shiny cone...looks like that.
Yes thanks, need 7.5 Fibre, not on list.
Give them a call or if your up for buying 3k try ringing Norgas cartridges ooop north for a price (delivered).Yes thanks, need 7.5 Fibre, not on list.
So maybe it's down to the storage temps then, which is probably related to how thoroughly and complete the burn takes place and what gets left behind if the burning isn't 100% due to too low storage temps.For me ...the dirty versus clean is obvious when you look down the barrels.
Example..... Took out the 20 bore to Owls getting ready for game.
Shot some old Maionchi cartridges ....barrels full of crap. Cleaned them out after shooting 2 Mary Arm.
(They had been sat on a concrete floor and forgotten about for donkeys years...)
Example another shooter...who will remain nameless...shooting F-Black......showed me his barrels saying Fiocchi were dirty....and yes they were....I was shocked. I gave him 2 Golden Trap....they cleaned the crap out. It then turned out he kept them in a cold garage attached to the house (all safely stored). Too cold / possibly damper air than you would want. He now keeps them in the warmth of the house. Job sorted.
Know your kit peeps....respect your kit....look after your kit ...if you want the best from it.... Simples :wink:
