ive got a cowboy marlin of new vintage and would love to try black powder in the 45-70 cases but the cleanup worries me. also i am not so much worried about the cleanup after i get done shooting rather i am concerned about the accuracy while im shooting.
will i need to remove the bolt and lever during a shooting session so as to swab the fouling out to retain accuracy?
also can i shoot j-word boolits with black powder as they will not be carrying any boolit lube?
i have two marlins...one cowboy...one 1895 gs stainless. id like to try this in both and i gather it cant be such a burden as the early guns...levers...shot black all the time and the winchesters were and are kinda difficult to dissasemble for proper cleaning so it cant be rocket science huh?
thanks for the info//replys
