RE: I guess I am just lucky.
You say out of control that tells me there still was some crud right? I would find it hard to believe there was none because I get it in percussion guns both inline and sidelock as well. I just don't seem to have trouble with it and I am from the old school sidelock Pyrodex born muzzleloading generation.
I think I read that post and you folks were shooting 80g of the stuff right? I think I also read that you were using Cheapshot ammo. Cheapshot is a flat pointed bullet that shoots extreamly well in my encore as well I guess the b/c of a flat point is much better than a hollow point.
The thing I was trying to point out is almost all powders leave crud in the chamber and care should be taken when cleaning your rifle. I have stuck my rod with plain old black powder this is nothing new.
