Excessive fouling making loading difficult - suggestions?
I have a new CVA Optima Pro that I am using 777 50/50 pellets w/ Powerbelt bullets. Videos/ other information sources states I should be able to shoot 5-6 times before "cleaning/running a patch." During some sighting-in activity yesterday, after the second shot, the barrel fouling down by the breech plug is so thick that I can not load the firearm. Any ideas on how I can reduce the fouling? I purchased the gun with the notion that I could get up to 5 shots without having to and run patches.
Thanks
