Some notes on gun cleaners and cleaning procedures.
Notes on black powder shooting. The bores get nasty/sticky/dirty quickly. When in the field:
Put a mild charge down the barrel.
Follow with a standard paper wad.
Follow with a heavily oiled/greased patch.
Run a wet patch on a worm up-and-down the barrel a few times.
The combination of patches will wipe out most of the crud. You will be amazed at the filth that you have removed.
I am going to try Ballistol; endorsements from Othias and B.B. Pellitier are good enough for me!
