Cleanest Target ammo? - Page 2

"Clean" ammo only matters if you are shooting small amounts of ammo. Once you get to a couple rounds, the fouling is going to be pretty comparable regardless of what you use.

It was suggested Winclean be used. I tried Winclean a few years ago and maybe it has improved, I don't know, but it left a coating of brass wash in the chamber and barrel that took forever to get clean.

Thanks, I will consider that. I'm still sitting on quite a few Winchester target rounds, so as soon as I'm done there..I will be on the lookout for cleaner ammo...and more...lol.

I will second that same experience. I thought the WinClean was worse than the regular stuff! To be honest I have also found that my G23 does not like WWB. It will take Blazer, and Federal just fine etc and I have yet to try some other ammo, but it will not fire 100% every time on WWB. I am thinking that has something to do with all the crap that is left over from it.
