Cleaning after using 777

[flounder]

I‘m sure as hell not lazy, Flounder. Perhaps the bad bores you’ve seen might have had BH 209, Pyro or BP in them rather than T7. Like sabotloader, I’ve never had an issue with it.

My post was not aimed at you my friend, just speaking about some of the neglected barrels I have seen and why I think it happened. Still I remain steadfast in my conviction that if you shoot it you ought to clean it that day. Admittedly stainless barrels are more forgiving but I will still clean them daily after a fouling shot, with the exception of primer only being used to foul the barrel. Might be just me and one thing about muzzle loading is we can all do things our own way. I do know that once they are pitted they are pitted forever.

I only wrap around the grooves once, one layer, not the base or nose of the bullet. Simple and works.

I do the same but I use the pink teflon tape.

Do you guys just do that on first cold clean shots? Not on follow ups?

Yes, bore is fouled after the first shot. The plumber tape simulates a fouled bore so you can hunt on a clean bore with no worries.

and POI is consistent with the fouled bore?

Yes, sir sure is....

The avatar buck to the left was killed using this method. I have only tried this on White rifles Super 91 .451 and .504, can't say it will work on any other manufactured gun.

Im going to see if it holds true in my Knight and CVA.

Pretty dang close. The few times I’ve tried it (just started doing it this year) I was pleasantly surprised.
