BP Load Information

So many variables and personal choices. I use a 7cc scoop and semolina as a filler, just enough to bring the ball
upto the neck of the chamber. I also smear wonderlube over the ball. Iv used water pump grease, tallow/beas wax
mix and E45 in the past as well as no lube but always seam to return to Wonderlube. It keeps the fouling soft and
aids cleaning no end especially as i may not clean my gun till the next day. I can shoot as many shots as i like and
i never have a fouling problem even after prolonged use. Semolina is so cheep why would you spend good money on
wads, also wads litter the range where as semolina just vanishes, plus it smells nice.:-) Tim

i use wads but i have loads of c o w so i will use that now.
cleaning bp is a doddle.
my martini henry i just clean by injecting steam via a trigger / wand as i have a portable steam tank which last for ages and really cleans everything from chamber to muzzle
