Cleaning regimen for sabotage slug/rifled barrels?
- Thread starter cath8r

Never shot sabotage slugs before.
I read some where someone tested at what point accuracy went down due to plastic build up.
I think the magic number was around 10
I remove barrel spray liberally with a cleaner that removes plastic fouling and let it sit. I repeat this once more.
Then a quick spray again and half a dozen strokes with a brush and that usually gets it done.
Let the chemicals do all the hard work for you.

Since it’s just plastic wad/sabot residue I’d just run a rod and brush or snake through it when needed. I looked down my rifled 870 barrel after 20 or so sabots and there was next to no fouling built up, so inspect and clean as needed. Quick to remove the barrel and look down it.
