My buddy’s cva bobcat hawken style copy has been loaded for two seasons with pyrodex. We shot it some, cleaned it and loaded it and hunted with it. Didn’t get a deer and it’s set for two seasons.
We always take the nipple off and put a few kernels of powder under the it to help ignition when loading for a hunt.
It was lubed with vegetable oil. I mopped as much out as I could before loading it, fired a cap, and loaded loose pyrodex over patched ball.
What are my chances that I will have any problems with it, if I hunt with it this season, without first shooting it.
I hate cleaning it. It isn’t the 20 minutes with hot water others claim. It’s an hour of scrubbing with hot water and dawn.
