[QUOTE="FrontierGander, post: 906540, member: 26439"] WAGH! Bore butter is for suckers that fall for phony things, just like those that use frog lube to keep their ar's firing. Bore butter is nothing more than a food grade lubricant and its waxy formula only builds up to ruin a rifles accuracy over time and is a horrible protectant against rust. You can not "season" a modern steel barrel. Its not cast iron. The best thing to do is dump bore butter Period, flush your bore out with boiling hot water to melt what ever crud is in there that bore turd left behind and then follow up with a quality gun oil. I love barricade. The myth about petro oils being bad is a bunch of mumbo jumbo. ANY LUBE you put down the bore during storage MUST come out prior to loading it. This means using something strong like brake cleaner, carb cleaner, alcohol, gun scrubber, something that will cut through the grease/oil easily to remove it. This includes the same manor when using bore butter. Patch lube is the most important thing when using patched round balls. Bore butter is an alright lube for patches but there are many other better lubes such as moose milk, mr flintlocks patch lube, mink oil, even olive oil mixed with a tiny bit of bees wax provides much better lubrication than what bore butter offers.
