Rounball and roaddog,
I have found over the years that MOST of the people that participate in the muzzleloading sport are honest, good natured folks who are eager to help a newbie, and stand behind what they say. In our sport everbody has their own way of doing something in paticular like cleaning a rifle after a days shooting. If you ask 10 people how thay clean theirs you will probably get 10 different answers, but after it is all said and done everybody ends up with a good clean rifle. That is what makes this sport great is the enginuity and different ways of thinking. Message boards like this bring us all together to share our ideas and ways of doing things. New people to our sport can determine what works best for them. But above and beyond every thing else it is the quality of people that share this sport. I am turly honored to be among these people. One thing about it we can always agree to disagree on an issue and still be range partners at the end of the day.
