Bottom line is shooting muzzleloaders is no more expensive than shooting a center fire.muzzle loaders are absolutely capable of 200 yd kills with practice and a good quality bullet.if you using bh 209 any quality center fire cleaner will work, hoppes,bore scrubber ETC. they can be reloaded plenty fast in the field with practice.bench work just use whatever you did with a center fire.you shot 40 rds of BH yesterday, how much is left in the bottle lol? another thing muzzle loaders a just plain fun to shoot and very challenging especially at longer distances..it's a very addictive shooting sport, enjoy it and have fun..
