Today a ran 500 target load through my shotgun
when I got home the bores on my shotgun were basically plastic coated.
I normally have no issues removing wad fouling as I use slip 2000 EWL before my practice time but this time my gun sat for a couple months in the locker
Any recommendations on an easy way to remove it ?
I see brownells has a plastic wad fouling cleaner surely someone supplies such
A product in Canada?
I don't like using heavy solvents but not sure I have a choice this time. Thanks
I usually shoot a few thousand rounds out of each shotgun before I bother removing the wad fowling. Brake clean works well, as does carburetor cleaner, but keep them away from wood finishes.

I mostly use WD40 before initial clean with bronze brush.
I guess I have never had as serious plastic fouling as you describe. I rarely shoot more than 200 rounds at sporting clays before cleaning, and normally fewer.
I will use an aggressive Tornado or Turks Head brush on a neglected shotgun that I have bought, but never again in my care.
I would rather use four ought ("0000") steel wool over a bronze brush, with lots of oil, than the more aggressive Tornado or Turks head, for really serious fouling.
I don't think that "0000" steel wool will do much harm to shotgun bore when used in moderation.
A bit of engine tuner and a Torpedoe brush makes quick work of wad fouling

HAHA!! TORNADO brush is what I meant to say!!
f there is a bunch of crud in the barrel , that particular brush is the best I have ever seen got getting it out.
I've wrecked three of them when I chucked them in a cordless drill for some reason, maybe they are not built as well as they used to be.
