Made the decision. Just bought a 50 cal Knight 26" Magnum Disk rifle, black stock, SS barrell.

Any suggestions on how to get started? The video did not mention breaking in the barrell, which is something I have heard should be done.

I was planning on starting/practicing with 209 primers and the 260gr lead, sabbotted bullets Knight has using 2 50gr pellets.

May go to 3 pellets and the 250gr Barnes bullet before hunting season once I get comfortable with the gun.

I was going to using T/C solvent for cleaning and Rem Oil with Teflon to coat the metal when done.

Biggest question I have is should the bolt be stripped down and cleaned after each practice session like the barrell and breach plug? The guy in the gun shop said it could be done once a season, but from what I have read that could be taking a chance. What do you all do that have bolt action muzzleloaders? I almost went to the T/C Black Diamond just to avoid having to disassemble and clean a bolt the the Knight Rifle felt the best in my hands.
