[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1052085, member: 33046"] I'll give a couple suggestions...... I'd back off the 200gr charge and shoot 3 - T7M pellets (180grs). Although some may shoot the 250gr bullets, a 300gr will stabilize better, especially at longer ranges if you intend to shoot them. For cleaning and swabbing between shots, I recommend Butch's Black Powder Bore Shine. When using it to swab between shots, you want a [U]VERY lightly damp patch[/U], NOT a wet patch. Run it down the barrel, twist the rod, turn the patch over repeat then load. For cleaning, use a sacrificial piece of fired brass with the primer in the pocket, which will help keep the flame channel clean.
