Usually the only place a wad gets really stuck is in the choke. Which reminds me. As a long time ATA shooter on the rare occasions I had a squib with a stuck wad I would open the action, push the wad back into the barrel with my finger and then blow the wad out the back end of the barrel with my mouth so as not create a longer disruption for the squad. I did not invent this method of clearing a barrel lol. It worked 90% of the time and ya carbon doesn't taste that good but there was a water bottle waiting for me when the round ended. Trapshooters, we are the same guys that rest the muzzle of a gun on our toes between shots lol.
