Thanks for all the posted info again. I'll be sure to try the molly lube. I'll have to give CVA a call..........I think all the reps know me by name now. Got everything ready and made it to the range and it was closed down. The ranger was there and he told me it was closed down due to an "accidental" shooting. He could not give me any details, but someone was accidentlly shoot and killed at the range and it is closed until they complete an investigation. Couldn't believe it.........Puts my complaints about a lousy shooting muzzleloader in perspective for sure...
