curing barrel fouling
a month ago i bought a new TC triumph,i have heard lots of guys shooting omega's and encores having trouble with a crud ring forming near the breech plug in these guns. after only 2-3 shots my triumph was all but impossible to load. after talking to TC they just told me to clean it after every shot. i have a friend with a 2 yr old omega that was having the same trouble . well i found a product called ULTRA BORE COAT. i have treated both barrels with UBC almost totally elimated any barrel fouling. after firing 20 rounds i can clean the barrel with one patch. this stuff is so slick ,it loads easier and cleans easier. it is a ceramic coating .check it out

RE: curing barrel fouling
I've read of others using this product also. The claims they make are very impressive. But for the cost of the product they better be. I will be watching for those that use this. I really do not have all that major a problem with crud ring, so I will just keep swabbing instead.

RE: curing barrel fouling
yes ,i tried everything i could find in sabots ,powder and primers. TC should be paying to fix these ML'S they seem to the biggest problem with crud rings . from what i'm hearing they may offer UBC with there ml's next year. other brands don't have near the problems with sabots.

"other brands don't have near the problems with sabots"
I don't know how anyone could substantiate that claim. Hodgdon would probably like for you to believe that but I seriously doubt any real study has been made. The fact is, there are a LOT of TC muzzleloaders in use. In my limited experience, the crud ring is not at all brand dependent.

That is my experience as well. My CVA guns and my Encore develop terrible crud rings with 777. Lots of my friends and acquaintances have this problem withevery brand of M/L out there. The crud ring problem can be somewhat controlled ifevery bit of lubricant is removed from the bore before firing.

But I have a few TC's and do not have a problem at all with the crud ring or excessive fouling and T7 is all that I shoot - either 100 or 110 grains - ignited with 209's, 25acp, and caps...
