RE: What' s up with my gun ?
Some advocate the use of Chore Boy copper pot scrubbers to remove lead fouling. Apparently you just tear off a hunk and run it up and down a couple of times. Seems to me that would also remove any plastic fouling. CVA makes a product especially for sabot plastic removal called Advanced Sabot Shooters Solvent.
Others would have more experience with this problem and could offer perhaps better alternatives.
