[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3167357, member: 15054"] I got my first one in about 2001 and went to the range 100 yards Iron sights and shot it 2 times and had many misfires. Some old bearded guy asked if I could take some criticism I said yes and he showed me the way. Anyway 3 shots no swabbing and made a cloverleaf at 100 yards. Good enough. I got it at walmart for $55 and it is a CVA bobcat that kicks like a mule 90gr pyrodex and 295gr powerbelt HP it is a side lock rifle. Deer do not walk away when hammered by that bullet. I have 2 inline muzzleloaders I just got this year and I hope tomorrow i will make it to the range. I will shoot 3 rounds and see if they stay together without any swabbing. I will try 70 gr and 80 and 90 gr of loose pyrodex. Pyrodex has treated me very well. Now I found out years ago that TC1000 bore butter or any grease type crap you lube the barrel with will create a crud ring. I run mine dry now and No crud ring. I use soap and water to clean the barrel and dry it out and swab it with oil patch ..I use gun oil like rem oil or CLP and a few dry patches after that and good enough for storing and or shooting. I left a load in one gun for a year and when the season came back around I fired it and hit within a couple inches of the bullseye at 100 yards. Kill shot for sure. I had a buddy leave his revolver loaded for over 15 years and all of them shot fine. [/QUOTE]
