Question for you guys... my jag is th3 ine that came with the gun.. it threads into the fiber glass 3od i got... but 1 cleaning patch with cleaning spray i use... doesnt clean the gun good... it isnt th3 full size if the bore.. i have to use TWO cleaning patchs stacked... and that gets a TON of fouling out. So i can reload.

So far they havent split apart and got stuck in the gun.. i do lube em with cleaner.. but still.. Is this normal. Also what is the max load for this hawkings 54cal

Here is the trimmed video of me firing it. I used 120 grains of 2f in that shot.

Unfortunatly my gf refuses to get a better phone so the video quality sucks. Should have had her use my phone.

To answer a few comments, a ram rod, even one with a cleaning jag should be threaded to accept other attachments, like a bronze brush, ball puller, patch hook, or scraping bar. Also, marking a rod for a loaded gun is good, but remember if you drop the rod down the barrel you should it "clang" metal on metal if it is empty.
