Yup, C&Bs are a hoot. A fat load of 3F Goex, a .454 round ball, and a CCI magnum cap is fun on a bun!
I recommend using Ballistol to clean and lube. Moose milk (about 8 parts distilled water to one part Ballistol) cleans effortlessly, and then lubing with straight Ballistol will make everything run smoothly. And the coolest thing is that the more you use the stuff, the quicker and easier it is to clean the next time. It only takes me five minutes to completely clean and lube my cap and ball now.
