    Do maxis, conicals, ball-ets move in the bore

    Well in truth yes.CVA says to foul the Barrel if using Conicals. And Doc White says to foul the Barrels on his Rifles and Shotguns. But I shoot PB out of my rifles and don't foul my Shotguns for the fact I may leave them loaded for days. oneshot
