Found 2 one pound cans at bass pro. All my local stores tell me in order to carry it has to be separated in its own dept. room Ect or locked in safe. Most tell me they don't sell enough since in line craze. I've never really found it that hard to clean. In old days we spit on dry rag if no water. Run jag through until clean and treated with some lard. I still keep brass plate in flintlock full of lard and rub dry patch on it before loading ball. I missed a shot years ago when it was raining and the ffg in the flash pan didn't ignite. Big old 10 pointer heard click on rifle and was gone. Retired it for percussion. Usually put piece of black electric tape over muzzle if damp. With blackpowder I've had no failures. Unless when I started you count the one where I seated ball with no powder. Took better part of 6 hours to get that thing out. It will make you think before patching one up.
