hello guys, this is my first post. i have been shooting b.p. for about 20 years. a C.V.A. with slow twist for round ball and patch.using moosemilk and a cleaning patch the force to get in and out was always about the same.just this year i bought a traditions in line from a good friend,it was made in 1996.the first thing i did was take it apart to clean and see how it looked. i pushed in the jag and moist patch and by sheer old habit tried to pull it out the front of the muzzle. i could barely get it out. after that i just pushed thru one way. my question is does anyone know if this is normal? what could cause that? i know he shot lead conicals for the first 10 years and then switched over to sabots. the bore looks good to me, i am no expert.
thank you . mike.
