I have always cleaned my muzzleloader after every use, did the old hot soapy water and dry patches until it was clean and then finished with an oil patch and assumed it was OK. I did notice what looked like a little crud recently so bought some boar tech cleaner to "just touch it up" and this is what I pulled out of my barrel.
stupid question I guess but does hot water only pull the powder fouling and not touch the copper fouling?
What am I doing wrong?
