To all in general

While their has been a lot of peole condemn the use of BB and natural lubes I am not one of them, most people here know that I was a firm believer in the fouling reducing properties of BB and that I applied it to hot barrels for years and years, then when the T17 patches came out I switched to the use of those patches as they provided a more equal application of the lube. Somewhere along the line before the switch to T17 I also started using Slip 2000, a synthetic oil, with all the listed properties of MX-BC. This was used with and in combination with BB and T17. In all those years I really never had any rusting, accuracy, or build up problems with the use of these materials... I did on a rare occasion pull out a tobbacco stained patch when I went back to check old treated bores... at first it concerned me but when I looked carefully at it I really believed it was not rust it was residue being leached out of the pores in the barrel by BB or T17. I almost took it up to the chem lab at the University to have some college class check it for oxidation - never followed thru on that though. I still believe it was powder residue missed in my normal cleaning ritual.

But with my discovery of MX-BC - it has totally replaced my use of either BB or T17 for now, what might come in the future I am not sure. I am slow to move to something new but if it works I will move.

Side Note it also worked very well in my trap guns reducing the plastic fouling in the barrel and chokes - all of the above products
