I don't understand the crud ring I used to get either. I couldn't even get a second shot down. Too much of a pain in the field. It's not that I ever needed a quick second shot, but after killing game. I'm more comfortable with a loaded rifle. We have bears and mountain lions coming out out ears here. I prefer to not have to do any swabbing at all in the field. I don't want to carry patches. Especially dirty patches.

Everything I do is aimed at hunting. I hate the range with a passion. I only go there to make my hunting more accurate.

Hunting with real BP is not a problem. I can get 2-3 shots with no swabbing, and I have a bag with me to clean if needed. It's a different kind of hunting though. More relaxed and traditional.

Hunting with an inline is different for me. It's modern ML hunting, and i'll use every modern method available. BH 209 fits right into that.
