RE: easiest to clean inlines
Triple Se7en I am in full agreement with you. I can clean my sidelocks as fast as I could ever clean my inlines. Of all the inlines I own, I think my Knight Wolverine is the easiest to clean because the trigger drops out prior to cleaning and the bolt comes out in one piece. That way you are not pushing any crud back into the trigger area.
As for your observations on Goex VS Swiss. Your right again. When I bought my powder I bought a lot of Goex and a little of Swiss. The Swiss is much more powerful and actually I think burns cleaner. I get excellent groups out of the inlines with the Swiss, but my supply of that is going fast. The next order will be all Swiss FFFg. When I shoot the Goex I have to add almost 10% more to get the same things out of it.
I have never cleaned one, but I think the Omega, Optima, Kodiak, Revolution, those types would be the best to clean because you do not have the striker area to scrub. My Black Diamond XR is the worst of the three muzzleloaders I own to clean...[:@]
