Cleaning
The downside of shooting blackpowder pistol, the cleaning afterwards.
Twenty-six shots later and it is time to clean the pistol. The tools for the job include: a can of WD-40 to spray down the barrel and a .36 nylon brush wrapped in a 2by4 to swap out, some non-scented baby wipes to clean off the outside of the barrel, especially around the nipple, a .36 mop and some 2by4 pieces to apply a light film of gun oil.

I've since used the method of wiping down the outside with a baby wipe, then taking the pistol home, stripping off the barrel and then using the hot water method to clean it. Much preferred!
