Plastic in barrel

I am entering trapshooting and need to know what chemical to buy to use to remove plastic.

 

Shooters Choice MC #7 works great. Even CLP works well if you let it soak in a couple minutes then use a bronze tornado brush in the barrel. I usually just use the CLP but every few cleanings use the MC #7 for an extra effective cleaning. MC #7 removes plastic residue even without using a bore brush, but need to follow up with cleaning out of barrel then light lubing.

 

RGS ... you can fine it at better shooters every where ... Or RGS.com WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Brownell's "Double Tuff" bore brushes. Made to remove buckshot residue from riot guns. Works like a champ.

Just pull a Bore Snake through it.

 

I use Bore Snakes a lot, but they will not remove plastic fouling from bores, forcing cones, and chokes.

I use them exclusively in my Briley tubes. They do not foul like steel bores.

 

Hoppes #9

No brushes needed. Wet the bore and push wadded paper towel thru w dowel rod. Let it sit while wet for 5 min and push another wad of paper towel thru.

 

Using today's watered down #9 will not get my barrels clean enough to install tubes.

When I was young, #9 had something in it (benzene) that would curl your toes AND get all fouling out.

 

Shooting Coach, I'd bet a dime to a donut hole your Briley tubes are polished better than your bore?

Dennis DeVault once wrote that there's a machine the measures surface roughness. I've forgotten what it's called but supposedly measures smoothness really well. I polished my bores to a mirror finish and made it much better at preventing plastic from sticking so bad, especially with the cheaper wads.
