In Belgium, it is not forbidden in theory provided one uses an expansive bullet of at least 6,5 mm and delivering 2200 J at 100 m...
The latter makes it more complicated, in practice

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

Hi all
I am thinking of the later BP guns, not the CTG
Ok, so in Belgium one CAN......if making the 2200J at 100 m......
You do hunt with BP Andre?
Thanks for replying

Definitely not. My hunting battery includes 7x64, .30-06, .300 Win Mag, 9,3x62 and 9,3x74R. I do posses 4 BP cap'n ball revolvers which I shoot once every 4-5 years (that's the time it takes me to recover from BP cleaning  ).

Black powder cleaning is easy.
The only chemical you need is water.
Oil after cleaning like with any other firearm.
I have been using bear oil with great success.
I actually prefer cleaning black powder shooting residue - cleaning the nitro firearms requires nasty chemicals.
Cheers

Even better, you can re-use your cleaning patches and rinse out your brushes and mops in water.
Even your oiling mop or patches can be washed and rinsed clean if ever necessary.
This makes the cartridge rifles great for long trips away from the home base.
You can make proper oil for the wadding and/or metal preservation out of the fat of pretty much *anything* you kill.
Bear oil is great, but in a pinch I'd be just as comfortable with deer or coon oil to get me through the journey.
cheers
