I hope you didn't take my statement, "much easier to clean", to mean that I didn't have to clean. Even though my caps are noncorrosive, I know there still is a danger from the 777. That said, one swab of CVA #13 patch down the barrel works fine until I get home and when I pump soapy water through the bore, nothing never comes out, but that doesn't mean I don't have to do it. A shot of alcohol to help remove the water, and the final patch treated with kerosene seems to take care of the corrosion factor. Two days later, still white as snow as also in a week. So far, the most times I have loaded with 3F-777 without running patch through is 18 times. Number 18 loaded the same as number two. I do use a powder wad. I've never taken the time to see what accuracy would do if I swab between every shot because of the time factor and I want to be able to shoot without the delay. I do know the first fouling shot is generally right around the black at 50 yards which would be my interest in having a shot ready for hunting. Actually, the main fun for me, it's all the experimentation trying to develop that perfect load with lubes, patches, and powder. I haven't found it yet, I just need more time.
