I have to ask, so I can understand, is the crud ring caused by the cap? It may be better or worse with different granulations of powder, but the constant appears to be the cap.
Yes it is caused by the Cap or primer. It is my experience that different rifles have various levels of problems with it. Example, I have a Perdersoli Frontier .36, If I use a Magnum #11 it forms a crud ring, this is a sidelock rifle with a patent breech. If I use a regular #11 cap no problem. My TC Omega is really bad is this regard. My Knight Disc Extreme Bare Primer not anywhere near as bad, FPJ as bad as my Omega. I think what I am seeing here is the Bare Primer sits further back from the charge so there is less flame and heat hitting the charge. I only use Winchester 209 primers in my inlines. Hope this helps. I just swab between shots and don't worry about it.I have to ask, so I can understand, is the crud ring caused by the cap?

Blackhorn is an even better option! That's if you can find any and you can afford it!I have also experienced the dreaded crud ring with T7 found that none mag primers in my inline helped tremendously but still had it. Recently switched to the Shooter world Mutlipurpoase Black. About 70 pfs slower that T7 but the crud ring is gone. I have learned with mag primers and T7 the charge appears to move forward a tiny bit prior to ignition and that us what I believe causing the crud ring. IMHO
I wish it was not so pricey I would get some and try it for plinking I have about 8 oz after an old 10 oz can but I am saving that for my 50 cal for hunting and I have other powders stocked up. If I can get some reasonable again I would be setBlackhorn is an even better option! That's if you can find any and you can afford it!
I am kicking that option around. I am weapon poor right know and would need to sell something to get a smokeless one. But I thinking about it.an even better better option is to get a smokeless ML .

Durn stuff is so high it will give you a nose bleed just trying to take container of it anywhere close to a ck-out counter. I may try some if it ever gets to the $25 markI wish it was not so pricey I would get some and try it for plinking I have about 8 oz after an old 10 oz can but I am saving that for my 50 cal for hunting and I have other powders stocked up.

If ya ever find it near $25, buy all of it. And dont feel bad about it neither.Durn stuff is so high it will give you a nose bleed just trying to take container of it anywhere close to a ck-out counter. I may try some if it ever gets to the $25 mark

I think that most of the older guys that have been shooting muzzleloaders for 3,4,5 decades all started out with & have shot plenty of Goex & Pyrodex, including myself. I do not & have not shot either one for a very long time, I use either T7 or BH 209 & am making the shift over to some smokeless rigs now. I have no prob or complaints with T7, I've been stocking up on it this past yr to shoot it in all my MLs except for my 2 BH 209 guns.Ive been shooting black powder and subs for 35 years. Only shot a few blackhorn loads. I'm still here and still loving it. Killed a crap pile of deer using all that dirty powder.
With those powders, a lilttle APP, and PRBs we killed deer by the truckload. House would stink like rotten eggs at the end of the day. Loved every minute every second of it.I think that most of the older guys that have been shooting muzzleloaders for 3,4,5 decades all started out with & have shot plenty of Goex & Pyrodex
APP??? Sorry, new to me…
I totally agree. I have shot the Holy black most of my life and pyrodex. I have never been sorry. Always had fun with family get togethers and turkey shoots. Always good fun. recently been reloading 12 ga shells for dove season and just fun shells with all the smoke. Thinking about all the years shooting BP and sitting drinking coffee with buddies talking about the new this or that. I all came back to the Holy black that got us all started. Good times for sure.I think that most of the older guys that have been shooting muzzleloaders for 3,4,5 decades all started out with & have shot plenty of Goex & Pyrodex, including myself.
