Hi, I just got my first muzzleloader. It's a cva "mountain rifle". 50 cal, 32" barrel and the only powder I could find locally was triple 7. I shot it a few times yesterday and it is a blast!
After the first shot, loading it was incredibly difficult. I'm using .490 ball and .015 patches lubed with Thompson center T17 lube.
My question is.....when swabbing the bore between shots, should I use a dry patch, oiled patch, or patch with solvent?
