Hey everybody. I just jumped into the muzzleloader game head first and bein cheap may have hamstrung me a bit. I got a knight disc extreme .52 for a good price on midway along with a 20% discount so to my door for less than 400 bucks. Bought it before I realized 52 is just ever so slightly less popular than 50! Lol
With less options I’d really like to cut down on wasted bullets, sabots, powder, etc.
My main question is about cleaning during a range day finding the bullet powder combo the gun likes best.
I’ve been researching all I can but can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for. How often are y’all cleaning between groups during load development? Do I need to clean after every shot? After each 3 shot group or just after I am done at the range? Also how often should I take the breach plug out and clean it well? I’ll be shooting T7 powder and primers with the knight red hot bullets. Didn’t want to learn on an 80 dollar can of BH 209! Lol but figured I better buy bullets from knights while they have em.
I’m just trying to avoid as much wasted effort and components as I can during my learning curve and I don’t know anybody who’s big into muzzle loader hunting to ask. Hope these aren’t dumb questions and if they are take it easy on a new guy!! Lol any tips y’all have for a beginner feel free to hit me with em as well!
Thank y’all!
