Here in Michigan, I halt shooting until late March or early April. When we start getting a few mid-day hours in the 50s temperature range, I'll take a ride to the state-governed shooting range.
I must first have my Traditions sidehammer worked-on. Both the tang bolt and the bolster screw on the drum need to be easy-outed. Traditions.com has mailed me both items already. I also want to try-out a bare primer breechplug I got from Knight Rifles and my new bulk 50-pk box of Hornady FTX 200gr in 44-cal. Those I'm shooting out of my Omega.
I'll also be trying out two CP products for use up-north, when I'm gone for a week or-so hunting (I hope). Both items contain a cleaner and protectant, not a Lube.
1) T/C-17 patches (100-pk)
2) Butch's Blackpowder Bore Shine (liquid)
The Butch's contents I will transfer to a small plastic 2oz spray bottle I have. These two products remove any rusting worries I have about my daily-swabbings of my bore, during the entire week up-north - in generally humid conditions. I'll be shooting my guns during hunting season twice every day.... after morning and evening hunts. The powder will be real black (Goex FFF).
