butter or not?
relatively new to the black powder thing and after reading numerous ideas on cleaning and buttering or fouling i am a little confused to say the least. seems like there are people all over the place on this. this weekend i tried hot soapy water cleaning then butter the barrel and went to the range. first shot was low compared to the last time out. i dry patched between each shot and the POI raised to a point. probably 3-4 inches difference between 1 & 5. horizontal stayed very consistent. what's your thoughts?
