Alright, I got my yukon out today for the first time and put about 15 rounds through it. I was using pyrodex RS powder and although it seemed that the accuracy was probably there, I had to run at least a dry patch though it after every shot to maintain accuracy. The patch I would run through would always have tons of black crap on it, real thick with a few grains of unburnt powder. Is this normal? Would a different powder allow me to shoot more times between cleaning? The powder was like 2 years old, was this a problem? Thanks in advance. EJ
I use a patch with bore butter on it to field clean between shots then a dry patch. Accuracy hold up with that method. It is normal to get tons of crap on it first time down and up, I turn the patch over and run it thru again also. So effectivel I am running 1 patch thru up and down 4 times, twice to each side of the patch. The dry patch I only run down and up twice. Chap Gleason
