on my sidelocks I'll take some 91% rubbing alcohol & swab the bore & then dry it as normal with clean patches.
After about 2 minutes I'll pour my powder, give the barel a slight wrap to settle the powder into the firing chamber.
Ram my PRB down the bore.
I'll put a strip of electrical tape over the muzzle & keep a rubber vacuum cap over the nipple.
When I'm hunting I'll take the vacuum cap off & place a percussion cap on with wax over the cap area.
