What are you cleaning,777, Pyrodex, Blackhorn, real BP? Out of all of them , 777 is the only one I hate cleaning. 

GASoline71:
I have 2 CVA inlines.  Both are the older "Northwest Compliant" with nipples open to the elements (how it should still be), and they have always cleaned up easy.  My older one, that I bought around 2001, did get a few small pits in the breech area after I let a load sit in it for a year.  But it still shoots just fine.  Does the gun have a removeable breech plug? Did you try taking the barrel off the stock and soaking the breach in hot water and dish soap?  I use a 5-gallon bucket and Dawn dish soap.  After soaking for a couple of hours, I'll then change the soapy water out for another batch of hot water and dish soap and use my cleaning rod with a brush while the breech is still submerged in the water. You'll be surprised at the amount of junk you'll get out of the breech.

I saw a guy on youtube cleaning his muzzleloader with Windex and then running a few dry patches, but I think any alcohol will clean just fine.
Or you can buy the pre-soaked patches from CVA: https://www.amazon.com/CVA-Barrel-Blaster-Quick-Clean-Patches/dp/B000LBYVTY
