Primers are non-corrosive, but they do leave a nice layer of black soot in the barrel especially the chamber area so I patch that out. Probably is not necessary but it makes me feel better.

QThompson as for whether you have to clean 209 primer fowling, it depends on who you ask. I was told by other posters, you do not have to. I think as far as letting it sit there a couple days, even a week would not be a problem. This is never the case with me. I clean my rifles every night and start the next day with a clean fresh rifle. While others don't do this cleaning ritual as I do, and that's fine, I never worry about primer ignition or a fowled barrel.
Have you ever seen how easy it is to clean a rifle that was shot one or two times in a day? Nothing to it...

Hi i bought a CVA Hunterbolt 50 caliber muzzleloader laster and shot a few deer with it. My question is should i be firing a primier through my gun before i load my gun?

I've done this the last two times at the range. My first & 2nd shot groups were within 2" both horizontally and vertically. Seems to work for me.

After arriving on the scene, I alcohol-swab the bore to rid the bore of any gun oils. Then I fire three of the hottest 209 primers available (Federal 209A's) -- then install a 40 grain REAL BLACKPOWDER (Schuetzen or Goex)charge with an empty sabot holding the powder in -

Triple Se7en are you saying you fire the 40gr charge with empty sabot before you start the real shooting? Never heard of that being done before, but I haven't been around the smokepole that many times yet.
