    How long without cleaning?

    What does everyone think of Ballistol? A good cleaner or just a lubricant?

    is that the same for regular BP and Pyrodex? or is the latter too dirty?

    How long without cleaning?

    New to muzzleloading. Always use Hoppes #9 cleaner for my rifles and handguns. Is this bad for cap and ball?

    Thanks very much. But I'm in Arizona. There are a few black powder shooters around so I'm looking forward to my continued education.

    I'm looking at Traditions and Lyman and Thompson Center primarily. Pedersoli seems a bit pricey for me. I've seen something called Investment Arms but I question the quality. To answer your question, the muzzleloader will be for target shooting only. thanks.

    thank you to those who provided actual information to a newbie instead of just copping an attitude.

    still learning about muzzleloaders but honing in on .50 cal. percussion rifles. Wanted to learn if a traditional cap and ball is preferable. What about Sabots? Do they eliminate need for lubed patches when loading? Also, what do you think of blackpowder pellets? Are they good or just the lazy...

    Well i got my Traditions Woodsman today...

    Interested to know what happens when everything's fixed. I'm looking at getting into black powder and the Traditions Woodsman, and other models, including a kit is what I'm looking at. There's a big demand for rifles these days and I'm hoping Traditions isn't making shortcuts on manufacturing.
