So I am still new to this, started collecting what I need. I will start the journey by trying Harvester sabots, and a lead 452-300 bullet. One thing that seems to come up periodically is how often to clean. Am I right that with shooting Sabots I will need to clean every 2-3 shots? Why is that? Do the lubed bullets help prevent as much build-up of powder? And how thorough do I need to clean between shots using sabots? I Think I remember reading something of soaking patches in Windex and running them through? Is this sufficient? Is this just a range thing and I will need to use another cleaner (Butchs bore shine?) after I get back from the range? Also, is there a special solvent that need to be used for black powder? I will likely use Pyrodex powder since it is cheap and easy to find. I might also look more locally for T7 powder. My local Dick's had it for 50 bucks a lb which I thought was pricy.
As an aside, I have another question concerning measuring powder. I see that I need to measure powder by volume, not by weight. What is a good measuring device to use to measure BP substitutes by volume?
Thanks for your help, sorry about all the questions.
