Here is a video of what i do to My Sidelock Muzzleloaders to clean/dry Oil up inside my Bore, Patented Breech/Fire Channel before i load my Rifle for a Hunt (Largest cause of Miss/Hangfires happens right here!!) If you do this and you use Real Blackpowder your Rifle will go off IMMEDIATELY :yeah: As for Substitute powders I cannot say much about them as I have very little experience with the Subs, It is my understanding that you need the Flash Hole of your Nipple Opened up a Bit to get Reliable Ignition, How much? I don’t know? The Sub Powders require a Hotter Spark. Regardless of the Powder you use, this Video should give you what you need to Prepare your Rifle for Loading to GREATLY Reduce the Possibility of a Hangfire. The use, and understanding of needs of the Substitute powders Such as Pyrodex, And Triple 7 is up to you. I use Real Blackpowder
