Default RE: How many of you still borebutter?

The oil did not cause your dislike for using it! It was your failure to remove the oils before you started shooting. All it usually takes is one 3" alcohol patch (both sides) - then both sides of a dry patch... then fire three caps -- then start loading & firing.

Never shoot any rimfire, centerfire or ML with storing oils in it. Some will evaporate & burn-off... some won't.

Also... modern gun oils of today allow you to make a mistake when you fail to remove all the moisture in the rifling after a water bath. Most are water-soluble & absorb the moisture as you;re oiling the bore. Bore Butter won't do that. It will run over the moisture -- trapping it underneath. It cannot absorb it.
