Here is his website Black powder rifle accuracy system -. You may get hold of him with a PM (@Dr5x), though he has not been very active on the forum lately. Just an FYI, he is now in his mid 90s and has failing eyesight.

22parts water 1part balistol and 1pat murphys oil soap. I got this recipe from Dutch Schultz's book muzzleloading accuracy. It has worked great for me for cleaning and patch lube.

That solution certainly is good for cleaning the fouling from shooting a muzzle loading firearm. It has everything one needs. There's water to dissolve the fouling, the soap and Ballistol to remove burnt on lubricants. Be aware that Duch will elsewhere in his system be equally as adamant that no water should be used to clean black powder fouling. I respectfully disagree with that statement.

I do recommend that shooters should purchase Dutch's system. I also caution that you need to apply some critical thinking to some of his recommendations

Colonel Stoopnagle! Of course he really existed. He and Major Hoople were two of my favorite boyhood heroes. Thanks for the labels, Enfield58. I'll be honored to promote Colonel Stoopnagle's products on shootings ranges all across our fair land.

It warms the heart when the world gains another graduate from the school of Stoopnocracy!

Plain water is all that is needed for cleaning black powder fouling, anything else is a waste of time and money.

Seems every one is seeking a miracle cleaner and it is as close as their faucet.

 

[fastburn]

Agreed! I wont bring that up again! Lesson learned

OK, but distilled or mineralised; seasoned in a GI plastic water canteen; or regionally purified spring water ?

One can never be sure of the purity of water nowadays, that's why I exclusively use "Pureau Australia's Purest Water" for cleaning my Muzzle Loaders, and for spit patching; you wouldn't believe how many attractive young women approach me when they notice the 10 ltr cardboard box cask I decant from !

 

[Okie Hog]

he cheapest, wettest, most historically correct, available cleaning solution is plain old water.

Works for me.

I have notice as I have traveled through my life that if something is easy to do most people will try as hard as they can to complicate it? LOL!

Except there is nothing there that will dissolve the salts that are a result of combustion. That mix may wear away the fouling but I doubt it wll get he corrosive materials in the pores of the steel.
Good luck it is your gun but I stick with water and Ballistol.
Put som e of the mix in a glass and drop in a sprinkle of tale salt.
Bunk

A salt is a metallic cation bound to an inorganic anion. Eg. Sodium-chloride, potassium-chliride, etc... salts ionize (dissolve into component cation - anion) in water, ( the universal solvent) and that's why we clean with water.
