I've used a modern inline muzzle loader for years with black powder substitutes. Started w/ Pyrodex, then 777, now blackhorn 209. But now I'm using Goex ffg in my Great Plains rifle and it's a bit messy-er (sp?). I've been using TC No. 13 for cleaning between shots. I use TC 1000 butter for lubing patches and after cleaning. According to Fadala in his Black Powder Handbood, I should be able to reload without cleaning between shots after using the "butter". What is your-alls experience? Is it really possible to reload without cleaning? Even hunting with substitute BP, when I reload for a second shot or a potential second shot I've run a cleaning "spit" patch followed by a couple / few dry patches. At the range I tried reloading two in a row and the second patched ball is much more difficult to get down the muzzle. Opinions? Experience?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
