rusty bore question
 

i know it has been discussed here in the past but i cannot recall what was recommended. bore butter is still leaving me with a rust on a patch if i dont shoot the gun for a month or two. could some body recommend something readily available to solve the problem?

Maybe some Kroil

first thing i'd do is get some birchwood casey blue and rust remover, treat it with that, then apply a protective coating, oil or grease.

your discription leads me to believe you are not getting all the rust out and thats why you got rusty bore butter. i would think bore butter would be a good preservative.

if you need any further help call on god, cause sure as hell i don't know what to do. ;)

I wouldn't touch bore butter to my barrel as a preventative except to have an excuse to buy another muzzleloader... but that is just my OPINION of bore butter... hate the stuff.

I soak my barrels with LPS 3 and have NO PROBLEMS and clean it up with alcohol. In my caplocks I light off a heavy charge with it before going hunting to make sure everything is hunky and dory... even if don't in a hunting area.. I haven't found it to bother deer here in Hawaii.

Aloha... :cool:
