Not supposed to oil inside barrel of muzzle loaders. Causes burnt powder to gum up. Oil outside only.

Not true. You oil it to store it. Then run some alcohol patches through it and foul it with a couple primers when you ready to shoot.

Dats right, dats right!!! But you don't oil it and shoot it. It will gum up.
Done did dat, cause I was too lazy to clean it out before shooting.
