good info.my worry was more of a person with a bottle of this on range table and get heat near it or spills it near gunpowder.alcohol does burn good, i was surprised at how a match caught the cleaning patch on fire. as for someone like you, you are careful and would most likely not swab the barrel full of the alcohol.so,i bet you would never have problem.most probably would not but those few would, you could bet on that. being you used it and no problems, i am going to use it to clean barrel every few shots,if i need to. i use bore butter but in cold bore butter is a disaster here in pa. i had roundballs and maxi-balls get stuck in thecold using bore butter.i still like bore butter and use it. if you use alcohol to swab in cold, balls go in much better. i also was interested inthat 1% rust preventive that is in it.they said it was a secret thing that they could not tell me what it was,only it was put in to help protect metal from rusting in car engines from water.
