You right about 5 shots being more than enough, quess Iam just used to shooting with a rifle when it comes to sighting in. I will let you know after my next trip to the range. Should the bore brush be snug in the barrel?
They make bore brushes specifically for muzzleloaders. The easiest ones to find are the 50-cal brushes. I only use jags for loading the bullet. Take two ramrods with you to the range. One (jag ramrod)is for bullet-seating... the other (bore brush ramrod)for swabbing.
