New to Muzzleloading Need some Help

[SeanM]

Welcome to muzzleloading. The powerbelts are very popular and work very well. Triple 7 pellets work very well. I've never had a problem cleaning afterwards. To my experience, Triple 7 has been the cleanest leaving very little residue. Just make sure to clean it well after a day of shooting or hunting. A personal tip that has worked well for me too is to put a drop of plain old Hoppe's gun oil on your finger and run it around the belt base, or sabot, prior to loading. It will help the round go down the barrel easier when loading and actually keeps fouling to a minimum. One drop of oil will not attract too much dirt/dust to stick in the barrel either. Good luck.
