Underclocked- I was just going to say that I usually prefer to fowl my barrel with a nice pheasant hen. But when I need to foul my barrel, Triple Seven works just fine.
Seriously though, I sight in and hunt by cleaning the barrel with a windex patch then dry patch. Then I pop 2 primers, then load the powder charge & bullet. Works just fine for me.

on my flintlock, i just clean all oil out of bore with patch and dry it, then load and hunt.
i will have to see if it shoots different on first shot.
not until april comes, too cold for me.
