RE: some 44-77 questions
Sam I use the muzzleloader original dry lubed wads. I've tried the various "lubed" felt wads from different sources and find that that lube has a tendancy to contaminate the paper. I also as per the instructions in the 1875 Remington catalog use a drop of jojoba oil wiped on the patch (jojoba oil being the closest we can get to spermicitti nowadays)
On the case expander, you may want to think about having it about .002 over the bullet diameter so when the case mouth springs back from the expanding process it is just a tight fit on the bullet.
When running wet and dry patches on either a jag or a nylon brush, you'll want to use at least 2 damp's and 1 dry. Depending on the atmospheric conditions, you may end up going to 3 or more damp patches. This is where the BACO bore wipes and other such "bore pigs" are so handy, it's one pass and done. Perry talks in his book about using the Fisher brush, which is pretty much like the bore pigs that Jim Terry makes and sells. Danielsons bore brush system is also a close copy of the Fisher Brush.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
