What he said.
Pull your breech plug and ram home a sabot and bullet. There are perforations all around the sabot. There is nothing sealed about it,
Someone did some Testing with BH209 on one of the boards where they soaked a load in water. Towel,dried it and loaded it, it went bang with zero problems.
You can load BH209 and shoot it all season and leave it dirty and clean it at the end of the season, with most muzzleloading seasons lasting no more than 2 or three weeks there is NOT a better smokeless substitute muzzle loading propellant made.
