Being new to black powder I have ran into a question that thus far I haven't gotten a solid answer to.
The simplest way to ask this is if you were storing your favorite muzzleloader for a period of months what would you use to protect the bore?
I have been told that I don't want to mix petroleum products with natural lubes. Soooo, I could use gun oil and remove most of it with dry patches before loading again.
I have heard nasty things about Bore Butter and then again ran into folks who love it.
Is there a natural protectant for moth balling that you prefer over a petroleum product?
So you are putting her in the safe for awhile guys. How are you gonna protect that bore? Also, your thoughts on bore butter?
Thanks in advance,
Ed
