have to patch dry the boreimmediately after coming out of the hot water rinse. Then let it lay for 5 minutes for the residual heat to bone dry the bore...then plaster the borebutter to it
Hmmm - I wonder if I wasn't letting the barrel dry out enough
before putting the bore butter on. I may have actually been sealing some moisture in
under the BB. That's not a pleasant thought
