38-55 BP question,,,,,,,,,,,,

<< < (4/4)

olskool:
swiss is stronger. in a flintlock it will build a hard ring about 3in from the bottom of the barrel after only 5 shots or so. but i have found a way around it. if the patches are lubed with dawn dish soap and water mix 50/50 you will not have any problem and you can also shoot all day without swabbing the bore. and the ball and patch slides down slick up to the last shot. but i am still a goex man, i like to by USA products, and goex shoots just as good in my flinters. another thing i found. cleaning BP is a breeze! i use Windex, it will melt BP like hot butter, i also use it to clean my cartridge guns that shoot BP. it is the best stuff i have ever used. it beats any BP cleaner on the market,,,,,,,,,,

Cap'n Redneck:
I assume You're referring to "Windex with Vinegar", as recommended by Mike Venturino in his many books and articles on BP shooting, and not just any "flavour" of Windex...?
