Thread: Metal flakes cleaning barrel...and clean load?

I used some fibre wad eley at a simulated field shoot over the weekend, its definitely snappier in recoil, sounds quite different and produces a haze of fluff compared to plastic wad ammunition. 100 target course of fire so i used 125 rounds. There was a bit of leading but way less than the op had so the shot may have been harder.
Fibre wad seems to be coming back as people are becoming concerned about plastic in the environment so i suspect we will see more of it. I have no problem with lead shot in direct contact with the bore but hate to think what steel or worse that tungsten shot will do the a barrel without a plastic jacket.
