Using Pyrodex was also a pain at the end of the day to clean.

Using Pinnacle, APP or JSG I take the wood grips off, and just put the revolver and all parts in dishwater. Using a tooth brush I can have that thing clean in just a short time. And there is very little on the range cleaning going on.

Maybe it was the flu you have, with that smoke blowing back in your face and all, I could see where that would affect your range pleasure. But if you ever get a chance, give them other powders a try. I think you will really enjoy the revolver a lot more.
