DD,
Rather than drown out the 40-82 thread with all the screaching noise that cat is making, why don't you go ahead and let it out of the bag.

I've got the turpentine ready.

sounds to me like someone is talking about a leading problem

Yeah, obviously a problem.

I fired 55 rounds at Phoenix last week without cleaning, just bore wipes. First Hoppes patch up the bore after the shooting came out clean. Lead removal patch on tight cotton patch that followed came up clean also.

Hmmmm.
Obviouosly you guys never mixed turpentine and cats when you were young !!!!

nope cant say that I did hey DD you should think about coming up to our shoot as i think our summers would be like your winters 80 to 100 degrees above 0 would not be hot to you i am sure

Interesting invite 62. I will point out that on your bio you did not list where you are and you did not identify the match in question.
BTW, being born and raised on the NE Coast of Florida I would rather live in AZ at 100F with 10% humidity than FL at 80F and 90% + humidity.
So when I check out a match the first thing I do is go to Weather Underground and see what the H factor is.
Black Powder Target is shot in the open, not in the shade.

If one is using Black Powder with GG bullets and is not using BACO bore wipes with MPro7 'Cleaner', in front of a 'damp' patch moistened with a 1-10 mix of water soluble oil and distilled water, they can expect to have some level of bore fouling which in turn promotes barrel leading.

I have yet to see that this method, when employed properly, provides too much barrel fouling control.

With that said, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

should we mention REAL GUM turp. not the home depot stuff? Ken

Now that the Cat is officially out of the bag (sans turpentine)

Is it going to be a Norwegian event???



You really suckered me in to this one didn't you.
Time to put up or shut up I guess !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norwegian event? I’m interested. Does it snow at Ben Avery in January?
