Before I bought my first pound of BLACK MZ, I emailed Alliant asking about it. Their rep told me to use DRY PATCHES. He said that the first round I could lube the patch, but after that to load with dry patches since the powder "lubes" during the shot and something about the powder not liking moisture.
To the folks shooting Black MZ, are you doing this, or just running lubed patches? We have been doing this with all our muzzleloaders, and works well, but... The youngster is having a tough time loading his .50 muzzleloader...some work to seat the ball, so much work he can't do it. Suggestions? Thinner patch? Lube the patch for easier loading?
