I am wondering if there is easier way to clean a muzzle loader.
Background: I am using a Traditions .54 side lock rifle. When I go hunting, I always perform a fouling shot to ensure no hang or miss fires. When I am finished hunting, I discharge the rifle (into soft soil). When I get home, I have to disassemble and clean the rifle with soapy water.
Question: Is there any product or simpler method of cleaning since I will be heading out again the next day or maybe two days? I dread having to spend 30+ minutes cleaning the rifle everyday.
