Since I have just started the sport of BP Shooting, I have been wondering how I can reduce my cleaning time at the range. I've been using Triple Seven so the clean up is less than it would be with real BP (which I intend to graviatate toward). In any case, it is still a mess and I try and do it at the range as I invariably get sidetracked coming back from the range by my wife (damn cell phones) and it just works better for me to clean everything at the range.
I had a 45 caliber bore snake for my other guns but wanted one for my 50 cal rifle. I couldn't find one but bought a 28 gauge snake and it works OK (I think 28 gauge is about 55 cal).
One of my primary questions is: "If you used a BP substitute like Triple SEven, is it necessary to use soap and hot water"
It would sure be a lot more convenient if I could use something like the Breakfree Powder Solvent in a pressurized can and the Breakfree libricant as well.
Would appreciate any suggestions........
