[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 2353363, member: 53629"] Butch's (think BoreShine) makes a cleaning solvent for black powder that works good. I don't shoot muzzle loader much anymore, nor do I use anything except real black powder, but I shoot a lot of BPCR. I "wipe" after every shot (some people use a blow tube) to keep the fouling soft, wet patch followed by dry patch.. My mixture for my wiping solution is water soluble machining oil cut with water and in the summertime some anti-freeze. I clean after the match with Butch's and finish with Kroil. Then I run a patch of bore butter through. I keep a can of Ballistol handy. I will run a dry patch through the barrel before the match. I also coat my bullet with a light coating of bore butter before inserting the cartridge into the rifle. Now I know this is in a different ballpark, but the concepts are the same, just don't know how applicable it is to subsitute. When I was shooting muzzle loader for hunting, that evening when I took my shower, the rifle barrel went in with me. A good soapy/hot water cleaning never hurt. Just be sure to dry thoroughly, oil the outside and bore butter the inside. I shot both a Hawken type rifle and a CVA inline back in the day. I used both loose and pellet substitute powder. Both took out a lot of Midwest whitetails. Bore butter = good stuff! This information comes from a crazy old coot [/QUOTE]
