RE: Seasoning a barrel ??
On the other hand, there are dangers of seasoning your barrel with products like bore butter. You must know what you are doing.Failure to season the bore correctly andyou run the risk of the barrel rusting, also those that do not apply it right develop a build up of the product in the barrel and because of that a decrease in accuracy is very possible.
The reason this rustinghappens is during the cleaning process, misture can be trapped between the bore butter and the metal of the barrel. You hear of people talking about "tobacco" stained colored patchs coming out the bore. I have yet to really figure out what is the cause of that, but I have seen them in my rifles when "I was a bore butter user in the past." The build up is simple. Apply coat after coat of wax to your car and see what happens... same thing in your barrel.
I find it much easier to clean the barrel of the rifle back to metal like I would any other rifle. Then I apply a coat of quality gun oil in the bore of the rifle. Before I shoot I remove the oil in the bore and start my shooting on a clean barrel.
