Dang it Hawg, now you're comparing apples to olives. !

"An apple a day keeps the fouling away?"And your point is?
Hmm. I see your point. You're pretty sharp.Or should I say, at this point, it would be pointless to point out my point.
Are you using hot soapy water? Many muzzleloader manufacturers recommend something like dawn dish washing soap and I get my barrel so hot it's hard to hold on with bare hands. If you arn't satisfied with that you can always wash it down with some isopropyl alcohol, however, alcohol type washes will remove all the seasoning out of your barrel, like in bore butter, etc.
Seasoning a barrel is a marketing scheme. You can't season steel.
Well...I like Montreal Steak seasoning on mine.....
Gotta disagree with ya Hawg, one can "season " cast iron cookware by cooking it at low temperature with a coating of olive oil, kinda glazes the surface, no reason you couldn't do it to a muzzleloaders barrel.
The stuff I'm talking about is hardened olive oil, very thin and definitely not burnt on carbon.
Sorry Hawg, just not interested, shows one way of doing something, not necessarily the only way or the best. My wife was shown how to season pans by my Grandmother and her ways works, keep in mind that this not burning something onto the metal but making a coating to fill the pores. Your article states that it's a Polymerization process which makes sense so why not in a muzzleloaders bore? I will agree that bore butter most likely won't do it without some heat involved, maybe someone else can weigh in on it with some real proof.
No. I wouldn’t trust it as you describe it.I’m hunting in the back 40, it doesn’t cost me anything. No license or tags for land owner.
long as the deer drops between where it was hit and the fence line, it’s considered ethical to me.
My question is, will the charge work like it should or will I get a hangfire or misfire. I’m not a muzzleloading enthusiast so I really want to know if the gun is still ready after 2 years.
wipe it out before loading for the next hunt.
Why don’t you just use real Black Powder I used Pyrodex for years went back to real black.All the more you shoot a pound would last years
