Muzzle loader questions

Thanks Guys
I've been using the patches then I usually put the Bore butter in the barrel , I will pick up some Hoppe's 9 or Sweets 7.62
I feel likes its corrosion.

It just can't get the a good group always seem to get a flyer like 12" every 3rd shot

What is the cleanest powder ? I think I will go back to blackhorn 209 and start at 80g with 250G hornady and see what happens

Are you cleaning between shots? Your gun will be clean when you shoot that first shot at a deer, this is the theory of swabbing between shots.

Take a shot, swab the bore, take a shot, swab the bore, etc, see if your groups tighten up.

I have a TC Omega with bushnell XLT 3-9 scope. I have found 2 Hodgson Triple 7 magnum pellets (120 grain equivalent) with a 250 grain TC shockwave to be the best of what i have tested. I would recommend getting the TC solvent and foaming bore cleaner. I keep my TC spotless before use. With a clean barrel, I would fire off 5 caps, then shoot 3 bullets with no swabbing. Tight groups, I felt this was most representative to field use. I have shot deer up to 150m with a rest. Up until this year I was very happy with the shockwaves. The 3 year old buck i shot this year, there was no pass through. The bullet was wadded up inside the skin on far side. No blood trail at all. Though the buck died 30m from where shot.
