Stan;
When my Dad was still living & kept Beagles I went rabbit hunting a lot with him & for some years did a lot of it with a 12ga original caplock. I very quickly learned that alcohol trick to prevent a misfire on the first shot. Later I built a .45 cal long rifle & did the same with it. I always just cleaned with water though. Haven't shot either a lot recently.
