Default My TC Black Diamond Now Much Cleaner

Ran out of musket caps and refuse to pay $12 per tin. So i put a #11 Hot Shot nipple in my Black Diamond. Caps used are CCI magnum. Good news is the gun stays much, much cleaner. After 20 rounds there was very little crud in the breech and on the scope. The plunger was much less cruddy too.

The bad news is that my round ball accuracy with 80 grains of Graf's blackpowder is gone.

The gun is zeroed for 100 grains of Black MZ and the 240 grain .430 XTP in a crush rib sabot. It shoots that load to the same point of aim as before.
