I shot over 100 of them today without any recoil issues and my gun barrels were very clean when I came to clean my gun. Eley Select have to be one of the dirtiest cartridges around, apart from Fiocchi  !

How do you determine how dirty a cartridge is, my barrels look the same no matter what I shoot through them, they always look dirty until cleaned, which again seems to take the same amount of effort and comes up shiny?

By the carp that is left in my barrels after shooting. I shot a 100 bird sporting on Friday using Cheddite and Hull cartridges. At the end of the shoot my barrels just had a slight 'greying' in them. With some cartridges there is a whole pile of rubbish including unburned powder flakes left behind, this usually involves spraying with solvent before using any brushes, to get them clean. When cleaning my gun, it was just one sweep through with a bronze brush followed by a single sweep through with a Napier patch, job done.
