I saw all three and I replayed it may times making sure it didn't miss anything. I bought my first in-line muzzleloader for an upcoming quota hunt and I wanted to take advantage of the draw. Your vids were easy to follow and squashed many myths and affirmed the necessity to having a clean and dry rifle. Keep your powder dry!!
I always swab between each shot. I just run 1 patch with a spritz of breakfree carbon pro and flip the patch and run it through again. Then repeat the patch and flip with a dry one. Barrel looks brand new. No need to brush it. I save the brush till i get home and do my full strip and clean. Ive also made a solution with balistol and murphys soap with water and presoak a ziplock full of patches and that works great also but ive just got to where i love the convenience of carrying the small spray bottle of breakfree. That stuff works amazing on black powder fowling. Stuff just melts off. Im shooting a cva wolf with triple 7 loose powder.
I shoot Low-Pressure Smokeless Loads in my modern 209 Inline 50 Caliber rifles. They produce the same pressures as the approved loads of BH209. Low Pressure 50 Caliber Smokeless Loads in a 209 Factory Muzzleloader, 2 DVD set | eBay These 2 DVDs contain a demonstration of using Low Pressure Smokeless Loads in a 50 caliber factory muzzleloader.
@@WhereTheRiverRuns I understand. Even though Savage Arns proved smokeless powder can be used safely in a muzzleloader over 20 years ago, the myth persists. Anyone capable of reloading ammunition is also capable of using smokeless powder in a muzzleloader. Why? Reloaders know what it takes to make sure you are not producing excessive pressures. Each load must be weighed carefully on an accurate scale and great care must be used to make sure you do not double-load the rifle. Also, most people do not realize BH209 is a hybrid powder made up of 83% smokeless powder (nitrocellulose).
I just ordered one of these to get an early start on deer season while the rut is still going on! However, how do you manage noise, such as the practice of flicking your ramrod down 3X after seating, to see if you get the "ting" sound and the bounce from a properly-seated bullet? Is that a luxury for just the range? Can an experienced muzzleloader manage the series of steps in the complete dark, by feel, such as by using tubes that contain pellets + bullet?
