I'm sure some of you have seen this, but when I shoot my Traditions Pursuit, the 209 blows out the top of the breech plug and gets fouling all over the bottom of my scope. It's a negligible amount each time, but after 10 shots or so the white fowling is very visible.

My question is, can this effect/hurt my scope? If so is there anything I can do for this?

Thanks!
