It\u2019s a new year, and many of you may have gotten a new firearm<\/a>. Whether it\u2019s your first or your hundredth, a good refresher is always in order. Every time you fire your gun, carbon, lead, copper, and plastic \u2014 if shooting shotgun \u2014 residue are left in the barrel, chamber, and action. After many, many rounds, this residue can begin to build up.<\/p>\n

This fouling comes from the powder, wad, and bullets. Further, moisture from weather and sweat can cause corrosive rust to damage your gun\u2019s metal parts. Fouling built up over time can impact a gun\u2019s reliability. You\u2019ll find that a dirty gun causes many malfunctions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Types of Fouling<\/h2>\n

Almost all bullets \u2014 centerfire and rimfire \u2014 are made of a lead core with some type of copper jacket surrounding it. Even lead-free ammunition contains copper.<\/p>\n
