Ive been using bore butter thinking a "natural lube" would be best for black powder guns. I swab the bore with it after cleaning and drying, and apply a thin coat on the outside of the entire barrel before putting it away.
But now im hearing "mixed" reviews on bore butter. I noticed that when I run a dry patch to remove the bore butter prior to a shooting session...the patch comes out slightly "dirty" looking, almost like the bore butter changes color or something. Im not sure why this is happening, as the bore is spotless when I finish cleaning and apply the bore butter. Does this happen to anyone else?
Is there anyone who has used bore butter long-term and is happy with it?
