eldeguello, do you notice large water droplets forming in your bore after firing Clear Shot? I was amazed when I looked in my bore after trying some. Dry patches came out soaked. Bought two pounds of the stuff way back when and finally used the last of it this past 4th...but not in a muzzleloader.
No, I never noticed this! I will definitely check for this condition the next time I shoot some. I'll dry-patch the bore and see if the patchcomes out wet. Thanks for the tip!
Now, I did notice that APP claims that their powder, which was once "CLEAN SHOT", is "self-lubricating", leaving some kind of a moist deposit in the bore on firing. I used Clean Shot powder back when it was being made, but have not yet tried APP or Pinnacle. I stopped using Clean Shot after I discovered how susceptible it was to moisture in humid condidions.
