All black powder shooters know that when you deal with Black Powder that the job is gonna be messy and foul a barrel quicker than the black powder substitutes will and require more swabbing. BUT !...That fun of black powder and gosh I sure love the smell of black powder at the range in the evening time
My problem has always been problems reloading. Now I have just recently added three more front stuffers to my black powder arsenal. Before all I had was a T/C Hawkens with a badly pitted barrel and it is no doubt that this pitted barrel was my problem with loading a following shot. I was just about having to scrape and swab the barrel after each shot in order to load a following shot. Talkin'bout a pain in the backside. Now like I said if you use BP your gonna have to swab the barrel here and there due to fouling,that's just how is it is with muzzleloaders. But here lately I have been using FFFG BP instead of FFG. Now here is my question....If I have a barrel that is smooth and in good shape which powder "FFG or FFFG" would foul the barrel less and be able to squeeze in more shots without having to brush/swab the barrel ? Or would either powder make any difference at all ?
