RE: Cleaning and misfires? New in-line owner
I shoot a Knight 50 caliber
I have a stainless steel barrel I clean with dawn liquid soap and hot! water. Then I use deer fat I have cooked down to swab the inside and outside of my barrel. Before I load I always fire a primer to clean out the oil. Then I shoot 5 or six times run a brush down to knock out the power flakes. I use 777 pyrodex power. Then I continue until my shoulder can stand no more then I clean it thorough I have killed many deers with my big 50. My 280 is collecting dust in the vault! there is nothing like the rush and the smell of black power and a clean kill!

I have never had a misfir only a click since Knight has a double safety! Thank goodness the deer stood and waited for my to cock and shoot!
