Skeeter, funny how things are different for everybody. Personally, I found T7 to be more difficult to clean than Pyrodex. Yeah, it stinks more, but hot water and dish soap, followed by a boiling water rinse and dry patches have always removed 100% of the fouling quickly for me. Let the barrel cool a little, then run a patch coated with Bore Butter down the spout and I'm finished.

I would be interested in trying the Cabela's conversion kit, but since I paid $$ for the Remington kit, I went back to #11 caps and will continue to use them for now. I seem to kill everything I shoot, so what the heck. Last year I killed two foxes in less than an hour with my Remington. They died facing each other no less than 15 feet apart. Made a good picture!
