Well, Semisane gave me the idea to try a test. How well a decent Muzzle loader shoots/Groups on first clean cold bore without the use of a fouling shot. So, took the TC Pro Hunter .50cal barrel out for a little spin in the old wheelie chair today. Shots were fired at 150 yards with 120gr BH Win209 primers, 290gr Barnes T-EZ with MMP sabots. Same load I will be using to hunt with. Barrel and Breech plug was cleaned after EVERY shot the same as if I was at the house cleaning after a day at the range. Before each shot, I struck off 2 primers the same as I would before the hunt. Barrel was clean and given 15 minutes at least before each shot. All together I did 10 rounds this way. results on both targets were pretty much identical so I only fooled with scanning one in. Wife decided she was a Stunt woman today and jumping the truck so the camera decided it wasn't going to work. Thank Semi for changing the scan to JPEG since my technically retarded self had absolutely no clue how. Here is the one target



It may have been better but due to my ribs still being sore as hell I had to shoot left handed. Shooting cross body right handed full load wasn't EVEN going to happen. Sand bags both front and rear with steady rest shooting table that I use for P-Dog shoots.
