post not intended for Pyrodex users....
I'm with you Johnny. But every shot only costs me less than a dollar. Some folks buy expensive bullets and use expensive pellet powder. Costs them 3X more per shot than me. That's a reason why they prefer to stay loaded day-to-day.
Other folks feel they must do a complete cleaning after shooting at the end of the day. If we use the less corrosive powders and proper wet patch-spray that contains a small amount of rust inhibitor in it, you can do it in two patches....... one wet and one dry. No need to do a complete cleaning.
I shoot my MLs everyday, sometime for an entire week without a tear-down, having used 777, American Pioneer, real black and now currently Blackhorn 209. Plus I hunt in the humid Midwest. The only time I go beyond one wet patch per day is if it's snowing or raining.
