Blued Barrels And What Powder To Use
Trying to decide whether to get a blued barrel or
stainless.I have had both and like both but prefer
the blued but no matter what I used to clean it or
no matter what rust preventive I have used I have
always had some small amounts of rust somewhere
on the blued barrel.Never had any problem with
the stainless barrel.Are there any good reliable
powder substitutes out now that are dependable
and non corrosive that I can use with a blued
barrel and what are the results you have had with
them.Also what rust preventive do you use to
keep you muzzleloader from rusting.The best I
have ever used is a nice coat of Breakfree and then
clean it off with alcohol prior to shooting.I love
blackpowder but some rust has always showed up
somewhere and I take great strides to prevent it
so any suggestions that work for you will be much
appreciated.I would like to go stainless but I have
to watch my money in these tight times.Thanks a
lot and you guys know your stuff here as I read
often.Take Care! Mike
