This may sound funny, but sabots are plastic just like shotgun wads. I use Hoppe's for this and cleaning the breachplug, which is shotgun primer fouling as well. For the whole cleaning process, I start with a 50-50 mix of water and Simple Green to do the barrel and when it comes out clean, I go to the Hoppe's. When all is said and done I run a patch of good teflon oil (Breakfree)through the barrel.
