Birchwood Casey No77 Black Powder Solvent

[Choctaw]

This morning I was sitting in my office watching it mist outside. I thought one way to cut through the gloom of the day was to do a little shooting. So I came home and grabbed my Paterson, Dragoon, and a couple of single shot pistols and headed off to shoot behind the house.

The shooting went well. Anyway, I started to clean my guns and decided to use the Birchwood Casey product that I had recently purchased at Gander Mountain. Wow, after a couple of swipes through the barrel, the patch was coming up clean! Dang near odorless too! I was very pleasantly surprised. Just thought I would throw that out there. If you haven't used this product, you might like it. :thumbsup:

I bought some Rusty Duck "Black Off" and had a similar experience. I bought it cheap because Wally World was closing out at the end of the local muzzleloading season, I felt guilty because I really should be experimenting with home brew lubes and cleaners, but my, how it works!

You are very fortunate to be able to shoot in your back yard! I'm jealous!

I'll sure look into "Black Off." I hadn't heard of that before. Thanks for the heads up.

I really appreciate the fact that I can shoot whenever I want to. I grew up in a small town and could just walk out behind the house and pop away. I took that for granted. When I grew up moved to the Dallas area and for twelve years a place to shoot was a problem. Then two years ago we moved to a small town. My wife was looking for the small town lifestyle, I was looking for my own range. :grin:

Choctaw, that is good stuff but kinda high in price. I could tell by the smell the main ingredient was alchohol so I use that in my cleaning concoctions.

Birchwood Casey products are really good stuff. I think Sheath is one of the best gun oils ever. I will give the black powder solvent a try for sure.

As for Black Off Rusty Duck, when Wal Mart had their end of season sale I picked up six bottles of it at $2.50 a bottle instead of $5.95. That stuff really cuts fowling excellent.

I forgot to mention that I use the stuff at the range because it works so well and dries fast so you are all ready to shoot after one or two patches of the cleaner and a couple of dry ones.
