Thanks Larry. I remember using the hot/boiling water cleaning and it wasn't all that difficult. More time consuming but not bad. Also I have some TC cleaner that's light blue that's supposed to clean real well.
I guess my biggie is the round balls and patching. I'm thinking that will be trial and error. The guy I bought from said 80 grains of Triple 7 and a .10 patch with a .490 hornady RB is what he used. I'll start there and fiddle around with it. Thanks for the advice and second opinion. Ed


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
