is it okay to mixed different bullets...i mean shot 10 birdshot then 2 buckshots or so then go back to birdshots? is this bad?
i have there cleaning materials: Hoppe's No. 9 Solvent, Shotgun cleaning kit, and Rem Oil...wat do you guys usually clean? there whole gun? or jus the barrel and just lubricate when the ammo ejects and where to load? how do you guys clean your gun? i kno i can clean it with directions but how often and wat part do you usually clean?
There shouldn't be problem with shooting different loads so long as the choke you are using is compatable with the load.
As for cleaning. I try and clean my gun after each shooting session. If I take it hunting but don't shoot it I may not clean it but may have gotten some moisture in it I may clean it or at least oil it.
When I clean my shotgun I first refer to the owners manual, but generally I use a solvent to clean the bore and action (field striping the action according to the owners manual) and sometimes the exteror of the barrel and action. Then I aply a thin layer of oil to the moving parts in the action and the bore. I wipe the outsid with a lightly oiled rag and then wipe again with a dry one.

You can mix loads anyway you want. #9 to clean the bore, clp to wipe down all metal surfaces for rust prevention (including inside of barrel) grease on slide and bolt.
