Am curious....

[silverchief]

I've seen several posts, (unsure if they were here) of owners/shooters of the rifled-muskets, mine being the Parker-Hale 1861 Enfield "musketoon", that drop either cream of wheat or corn-meal on top of their powder charge before seating the ball/bullet to shoot.
Could someone enlighten me as to why? It seems that I read where it helps to seal the charge, and even someone that stated it helps clean the bore. Would appreciate some input/info.
Thanks & Good-Shootin'.

Thank you...

Hey DD4lifeusmc; thanks for the message. Works for me. Didn't sound too practical.

Good-Shootin'.

Assume you got the answer No not in a muzzleloader. but yes in some breech loaders. and revolvers.
