[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 3169292, member: 5168"] I shoot an 1858 Enfield replica with real BP FFg. With a 30 to 35gr load of FFg an a 460 to 500gr Minie', anything walking out to 200yds is in trouble!! As to cleaning between shot's, its not needed, and when checking zero I always shoot four times with the first shot being the fouling shot, an last three my zero. I don't care for "modern" BP guns, bullets, or powders. To me you might as well use a cartridge firing rifle. I also have a flint .50cal Pennsylvania long rifle, and treat her the same as to cleaning an shooting. Winndex is your friend when it comes to cleaning your BP toy's!!! Pic's from a few years back, my son an his friends shooting my two toy's.
