[QUOTE="hugetacticles, post: 2352455, member: 45038"] I recently purchased a CVA wolf with a stainless barrel. I realize that it's probably one of the lowest end muzzle loaders out there. My question is I seem to be developing a rust inside the barrel fairly quickly. Here is my process, maybe someone can guide me in the right direction or maybe its just because its an entry level gun. I clean between every shot. I just Thompson center pre-saturated patches and run two patches on both sides. Then I take a dry patch and also run that through on both sides. I am shooting hogdon 777 pellets and using hornady 300 grain sabots. I have read mixed reviews on using products like bore butter or anything oil based to prevent rust. I called CVA and they told me that I had to clean after every range session/hunt and oil the inside of the barrel each time. I guess i can do that but I have friends and family that are able to leave their guns loaded for a weekend if they are hunting and they don't have this issue. Am I stuck having to either fire my gun or remove the powder and projectile and clean and oil my gun every single time I take it out? [/QUOTE]
