[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4347832, member: 15054"] The best way to clean a muzzloader is what [USER=12213]@2busy[/USER] stated. Hot water and dawn soap. My buddy was cleaning his the way he did for decades and it would take him hours to get it clean using Powder solvent made for muzzleloaders. I went to his house as he was on his 40th patch with solvent and it was still coal black. I removed his barrel and got some hot water and dawn soap and a bore mop on the cleaning rod and started pumping the water and soap and in 3 minutes it was clean. Dry it and lube it done. I submerge my barrel into the water primer end about 4" deep into it. You can pour dawn down the barrel or add it to a mop or do mop and barrel and water. Not critical. It removes all the crud fast. Rinse with hot water and then run some dry patches and oiled patches through it. You can leave the nipple in it on a side lock durning the mop I end up pulling it out and hand cleaning it. Dry it also of course. [/QUOTE]
