The one problem I found with the Gamebore shells, at least the ones I had, was that they had plastic wads in them. The black powder burning heats them up to the point that they melt a little bit in the barrel everytime you shoot one. Once the gun cools, to say it makes it a bit hard to clean, is a gross understatement. Maybe they figured that out and started using fiber wads, the shells I had were made several years ago. But I'd ask some questions before I bought any.

I've found that a squirt of carburetor cleaned dissolves plastic residue

To remove plastic fouling in the bore use Shooter's Choice bore cleaner. It comes in a glass bottle because it truly eats plastic.

Both good tips, thanks guys.

P.S. to Charlie: It was only black powder shells that ever get me this problem.
