I've had good luck with all of the powders and right now I have several pounds of Grafs. Grafs powder is manufactured by Wano as a private label brand. It doesn't have the velocity of other powders but it is clean burning and relatively inexpensive. I still use Wonderlube and Bore Butter as well. I don't get carried away with it but I believe it helps reduce fouling buildup and makes wiping a bit easier. When using heavy loads of black powder I ran a wiping patch about every three rounds. When I'm hunting that patch is usually just a spit patch but on the range it is patch treated with Wonderlube. I do a lot of hunting with a muzzleloader and never run a wiping patch after each round. If I can't reload in 20 seconds, I'm looking to replace my projectile. If I'm having to use a short starter, I look for a different projectile. None of the old timer hunters loaded the tight fitting projectiles that are popular today.
