Wasn't impressed with this recipe, I used it today, I swabbed with it before firing, dampened my patches with it, swabbed with it between each shot, and attempted to clean with it after I finished shooting, after the sixth swabbing, ran a dry patch and it came out with streaks of black,
I finally gave up on it, and swabbed once with Hoppe's black powder bore cleaner, then ran another dry patch which came out completely clean.
I bore scoped it, and it looked fairly clean except down around the breech plug/ flash hole area, took the barrel out of the stock, removed the nipple, placed the breech in a plastic jug, poured wiper fluid down the bore till it covered the flash hole, put a swab down and pumped it back and forth till fluid came out the bore. Then drained it muzzle down, swabbed with a couple dry patches, and bore scoped it again,
Shiney and clean, looked unfired, so I sprayed Barricade on a patch and swabbed it several times to prevent rust. Wiped the exterior down with Barricade, and put it back together.
Perhapse I did something wrong, but I think the above recipe was the least effective one that I've tried so far.
Both the first moose milk recipe I tried, and the 50/50 Dawn/water worked better. All three of the commercial products I tried, worked better. So can scratch this one off the options list.
