i wish i could find that article again.the author was a person who shoots competion stuff etc.so, patchs and roundball wear out a barrel, oh my. i was just ready to switch from my maxi-balls to roundballs. i bought all this stuff to start again. if a patch is lubed and i use bore butter in barrel, would that not reduce the wear of patch in barrel?
Sure-anything that reduces the friction is going to reduce wear! And a Maxiball, a R.E.A.L., a Ball-ette, a Hornady Great Plains, or aMinie ball,for example, will give even less wear than a lubed patched ball.
