RE: Palouse Hills Rondy...
Ok... I think I found part of the problem
I just took the gun apart to start to clean - this is what I found....
Bore oil - i used alcohol to wipe and then dry the bore prior to shooting and I was sure I had most of it out and I remember after the first shot that I thought there was a lot of oil blown back - probably what fouled the frizen and flint. + I did not know about needing to clean the frizzen and the rock with alcohol.... but any way I did shoot ten shots with the flinter and it is now several hours later and still looks like real fresh oil all over.
OK back to cleaning...

Mike, do not put the powder in the pan next to the touch hole, for two reasons first it burns like a fuse down to the touch hole causing delay, second that's not where the spark hits. Put the powder on the out side edge of the pan so that it is highest on that out side edge and tapers down to the middle. Trust me it works best that way. Lee

OK - I'll try that but when you are hunting with a flint how do you keep the powder in the right place in the pan?

Boy did that CR-10 do a job on the flinter barrel - yet on the Rnegade barrel the patches all came out clean...
Think I am going to skip the oil on the flinter and go back to the old school... try it least for awhile...
