pluckit.. I could not agree more. I can clean a sidelock in no time. And your right... load a roundball and go hunting. It was cheap to shoot. You could make your own bullets.

I once thought, I should sell all my inlines, but then I would not have anything to play with. No matter what powder I shoot in an inline, it usually takes me more then a couple patches and a few Q-tips to clean. But then, I am kind of fussy about how I clean a rifle.
