[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 267168, member: 2736"] Using black powder or the substitutes in barrels up to 40'' in a muzzle loader will increase velocity to some point. With the cartrige black powder rifles not much is to be gained by going over 34'' in barrel length. And as WRG said keeping the bore clean will improve velocity and accuracy. I have a little trick for both on muzzeloaders that has helped reduce fouling and increased velocity. After a very good cleaning I spray MIS MOLLY down the bore and use a bronze bore brush to spread and even the molly before it dries. This stuff is tuff to remove but it does double the number of shots I can fire before cleaning. and with less fouling powder like the triple 7 or Shockeys. it more than triples it. I hope this helps.
