I confess to not knowing much about muzzleloaders. I bought a T/C Northwest Explorer so I can hunt late season muzzleloader season. I've shot a few traditional ones, and a Knight Disc previously but that doesn't mean much. We have to use percussion caps & loose powder. I have powerbelt bullets, loose 777, and caps. I have a starter, and the rifle has it's rod I'm wondering about cleaning, do I need to lube the bullets? what with if I do? Do you bring cleaning patches in the field? What ever else I should be asking?
