When I was a kid in the glorious fifties we shot thousands of shells at skeet. All were loaded with wax fiber wads and no shot collars (pre WWMark 5's). When we bothered to clean we used a patch with Hoppe's 9, followed by a dry patch and then some oil on a patch. Mostly we just tried to get back to the range asap. Those barrels are still as good as new. The guns are relics but the bores are beautiful.

Some old guns i have bought have cleaned up well and the next day show leading raising up from the solvent. A combination of soaking time and the frontier pad will do it. As Dean says it's as close to a miracle cure as your going to find. It really cut's the time it takes down and I always have it on the brush.Dawn dish washing has a material that I can't tell the difference from a frontier pad but stop short of calling them identical. My metallurgist friend passed on last year and i miss his expertise.

I've bought bronze wool at the hardware store and i've also used 0000 steel wool and also Scotch Brite pads that don't scratch wrapped on a bronze brush. All used with plenty of oil on a electric drill. Never a problem.

Dan: Have you come to any conclusions on your search for spreader loads? My VH has .036 in both barrel's and is very good on long clay shots but a handicap under 35 yds. Sreaders are a must at skeet ranges.

If you are using a bore cleaner that will dissolve lead, keep it off the outside of the barrels! It can attack the solder joints on the ribs if left to sit.

The combination that I've tried at the range so far is 1oz "Brush Wads" from Ballistic Products, 14.5gr Extra-Lite powder, Win 209 primers, the solid (yellow) Poly-Wads. I put in 3/4 oz of #9, the Poly-wad, then 1/4oz shot on top. I got pretty good scores at skeet. 17, 19, and 20. With my Remington 1100 skeet I usually get 22's and 23's.

Scotch Brite works well inside a bore and will even remove copper fouling. It will remove blueing so stay away from the blued parts of the gun. Run it dry and then clean thoroughly afterwords.
