You Must remove all traces of oil which includes Hoppes. I had the same problem the second time I used BH in the Encore. Once I figured out what caused the problem I had no other issues, except you have to clean the Breech Plug orifice after 20 rounds or so.
Not sure that makes sense. First,Hoppes is the type of cleaner that is supposedtobe used to clean this powder up. Second, after I use the Hoppes cleaner I always use an alcohol patch to clean out all the cleaning substance from all my barrels. I then use an oily patch to run through the barrel o coat the inside for protection. And lastly, I run a clean patch through all my MLs before I load them.
So, I would have to say I don't think this is a would be a player.
