    Ammo testing....

    Switch to #1 buck!

     

    Dr. Fackler who was head of the Wound Ballistics Laboratory for the US Army’s Medical Training Center and considered one of the leaders in terminal ballistic has published papers about 12" penetration.

     

    Great article on ammo for shotgun.

     

    Cut & pasted from the article: Bird shot is not an acceptable self-defense shotshell round. To believe that it is could get you killed, and that has been the sad outcome in too many incidents.

     

    # 1 buck shotshell has the capacity to produce over 30 percent more potentially effective wound trauma. In all shotshell loads, number 1 buckshot produces more potentially effective wound trauma than either #00 or #000 buck. In addition, number 1 buck is less likely to over-penetrate and exit an attacker's body."

    you could remove the barrel and soak it? plug one end and scrub.. that way you are not wasting patches?

     

    maybe an ultra-sonic cleaner would help things? https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&sugexp=les%3B&gs_nf=1&tok=lvJDj_0iy-C_RIUAxUYM1A&cp=30&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=ultrasonic+gun+cleaner+reviews

     

    I am partial to steamers myself.. when it comes to grease and muck.. hot water is really good and steam is better! http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/186740/

     

    I hope that helps.
