I started using CVA barrel blaster just less than a year ago. I love it. Makes cleaning so quick and simple. Probably will never use hot water and dish soap in a bucket ever again, which is what I'd been using for 30 years.

I'm going to have to try this stuff.

Centerfire oil and solvents work fine with black powder, Pyrodex and 777. Just like with any solvent or oil, remove it with 91% rubbing alcohol prior to loading. For swabbing between shots at the gane, alcohol in a small empty spray bottle or Windex (blue Ammonia or with Vinegar ) works good.
