Aw shucks, Stan, we need a good debate here. Pretty boring around the house. I can’t counter you with anything authoritative but at the gun club today, sitting around with the old farts I mentioned my observation. Several agreed that plastic buildup in the forcing cone is a real problem to them in their long chambers. And they don’t shoot that much more than I. Heck, if they did—old as they are—all their dentures would be lost in the grass and they’d risk impotence. Golly, at my age doesn’t my 50 shots each week qualify for “high volume”?

PS: I was specifically referring to wad residue, not hull residue you get from shooting crappy Argentine bullets. Been there, done that one too.

. In fact, after one hot shoot in Argentina even the bird boys (the world’s best field gunsmiths) couldn’t get my Benelli clackety clack to eject shells.
