Traditional Muzzle Loader - Cleaning a muzzle loader

The answer to this problem for me was to use a black powder solvent ( Moose Milk) that softens the fouling better than soap and water, an understanding of the peculiar nooks and crannies in each gun and finding brushes and tools the right shape and size to loosen it so it could be flushed out of the gun. You can now pruchase Moose Milk on line.

I prefer the black tape over the end of the barrel.

Exceeding these loads is dangerous and unnecessary.
