Brownells Shotgun Wad Solvent, 16Oz

Shotgun cleaning doesn't have to mean hours hunched over your barrel with a brush. Brownells Shotgun Wad Solvent is a liquid bore cleaner formulated to tackle the specific fouling that comes with shooting—plastic wad residue, carbon, and powder buildup that can accumulate in both smoothbore and rifled barrels. Whether you shoot clay, hunt waterfowl, or run slugs, wad fouling can layer up fast, especially in ported barrels and tight choke tubes. This solvent breaks down that stubborn residue so you spend less time scrubbing and more time at the range or in the field.

The 16 oz liquid formula is designed with a slow-evaporating chemistry that gives you real working time—you're not racing against the clock while the cleaner dries on your bore. That extended dwell time means the solvent can do the heavy lifting for you, loosening burned-in deposits and making the final pass with a brush or patch far easier. Regular use helps prevent the wad buildup that can degrade accuracy and handling over time, keeping your shotgun's bore cleaner between deep cleans.

If you prefer traditional liquid solvents over gels or heavier consistencies, this is the straightforward choice. Just remember: this solvent can strip some stock finishes if it comes into contact with wood or synthetic furniture, so apply it carefully to the bore. Avoid using nylon or plastic brushes with this product, and don't store it in plastic containers—stick with metal or glass for best results.
