Default Cleaning the chamber

When my 20 gauge hulls were sticking in a SxS some years ago I solved it by using a 28 gauge bronze brush with a piece of white Scotchbrite pad wrapped around it. Using a section of the small diameter cleaning rod in my hand drill I ran the SB in and out of the chamber cleaning all the powder and plastic residues. I made sure when I cleaned and oiled the barrels thereafter some of the oil or barrel lube coated the chamber, too.

The green and black Scotchbrite pads will actually remove metal, so that is not an alternative. White SB pads are usually available in restaurant, body shop and auto supply stores. JF
