Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Triple Seven, cleaning, & corrosion?

I clean guns after using 777 just the same as with BP. Ballistol/water solution, followed by straight Ballistol for protection. I always check the gun periodically for signs of trouble over the following weeks until I’m satisfied all’s well. If any trace of rust should appear, straight Ballistol on bronze wool will take care of it.

Other ways work too, but this is easiest for me. One product and done. The solution is a good patch lube for target-shooting too.

A small bottle of solution, one of the straight product, and some patches, plus a brush, jag, ball puller, and patch puller shouldn’t be a burden to pack. I carry most of that in my possibles bag anyway, the wet stuff on patches in film cans or the like.
