Really appreciate all the expert advice.
I put one away way too wet a couple of years ago. The CLP on the outside evaporated and the rifle looked to have just about the correct amount of lube on it when I picked it up to take to the range last week to do some long forgotten load work.

For the first five shots it smoked like a muzzle loader with oil smoke curling out of every opening. Worked just fine for the next 100 rounds until I was done.
