It's been a bit since I used a smoke pole. I stopped several years ago and the last one I owned was the very first run of the in line Knights. I have a Lyman Hawken .50 cal and need a little advice and refreshing of my memory. I'll make a list to make this a little easier:
Best way to clean a Hawken style BP rifle
Best type of nipple to run
Best patches and round ball
Best loose powder and caps to use.
It's been a while and I'm sure there have been improvements in the past 20 years or so. Just looking for some "Cliff Notes" to catch up on what I've missed.
