Default RE: CLEANING MY MUZZLE LOADER

ORIGINAL: Pella hunter

SOME PEOPLE SAY USE SOAP & WATER & SOME SAY USE SOLVENT , WHAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IS SOME SAY TO PUT OIL ON THEM AFTER , I THOUGHT THAT WAS A NO NO ON THEM BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM LOAD HARD , ALSO SOME SAY TO SEASON THE BARREL AND THAT SOLVENT TAKES THE SEASONING OUT , I AM FAIRLY NEW TO BP GUNS & THIS IS AS CLEAR AS MUD TO ME ? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR INPUT, I AM SURE I WILL GET BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY BUT THIS WAY I CAN FIGURE OUT MY OWN WAY FROM YOUR INPUT.
This looks like the same old arguement between bore butter shooters and those who oil their barrels. Its all a matter of personal preference. Use what you trust. I personally oil the bore and then before I load to shoot, take a patch, put some alcohol on it and swab the oil out of the bore. Pop a couple caps to clear the ignition system, and I am good to go.
