I need to replenish my black powder supplies a bit and came to the realization that I needed to ask some questions. So here goes.
1. Where dose one get some good thick adsorbent cleaning patches?
2. Patch Lube
a. Do you use any?
b. What kind do you recommend?
3. Patches, I have been using pillow ticking and it works fine but I kind of hate
trimming at the barrel, I am considering using a speed loader but was
wondering if anyone could recommend a convenient way to precut patches
or a good but inexpensive precut patch?
4. What do you use for between shot cleaning? I am using something my
father gave me and it work well but I will run out eventually and can't
remember what it is, and there could always be something better.
5. What do you use for end of the day cleaning? I use Hoppes 9 but have
been considering getting Hoppes benchrest, what do you recommend? Has
anyone tried MPro7?
6. How do you clean at the end of the day? My process is to
1. Separate barrel from lock/stock
2. Place rear of barrel in container of hot water.
3. Use ramrod and patch to pump water in and out of the barrel through
nipple.
4. Swab barrel with Hoppes 9 on a patch until clean.
5. Wipe down lock nipple with Hoppes.
6. Reassemble.
a. Any recommendations on a brand of soap or similar cleaning product to
add to the water, I can't find a dish soap without weird additives.
b. Any comments on the process itself.
7. Do you know a good website to purchase black powder accessories?
8. Do you know of anywhere that sells goex in single cans by mail-order or via
the web? It is so very hard to find in central Ohio.
9. Have I asked too many questions?
10. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck
wood?
I would greatly appreciate any answers you could give.
