SRH, these methods are so needlessly complicated that they discourage people from ever taking up BP in the first place, never mind using it in the field. Why make it so needlessly complicated?

This also furthers the internet myth that bp fouling is somehow ridiculously corrosive. It is not. It will generate rust in very damp or wet conditions but it's not something that will eat your gun in an hour or three. There is simply way too much hype about cleaning blackpowder. It is simple, cheap, fall-off-the-log easy.

And I never said I was preaching gospel either. Just trying to make it a little less daunting for those who have yet to go there and try it.
