Sabotloader, you didnt have to swap after each shot! Does this mean that igniting T7 with a #11 percussion cap gives a cleaner firing process? I have seen comments about the 209 primer creating the crud ring.
What are your thoughts?
Most often when using a cooler ignition like a #11 Mag cap or Musket Cap - the 'crud ring' never appears especially if you have been using a synthetic oil in the bore.
Even when I shoot with a cooler 209 primer I do not see the really bad crud ring that others talk about.
I believe the 'crud ring' is a result of the reaction and the heat of the burning with something in the bore and the combination of the contaminants in the primer.
I can control the things that are in the bore so I try to reduce their effect as much as possible.
