Gotta tell I have used those seasoning patches for several years now, anyway the T17 type patch. They do reduce fouling in the bore, but they are not a great bore protectant. It really is a matter of how you apply the seasoning patch - not that it will season anything - that is really a mis-nomer. Most of these products and even the new ones leach into the pores of your bare metal and provide a smoother slicker surface - that fouling has a tough time sticking to.... I THINK - that is one reason do not have the typical 'crud ring' problem with T7 powder.

What ever you do make sure all of your metal surfaces are dry before you apply anything.

You can get the same type of 'seasoning' using a quality Synthetic Bore Oil and be miles ahead.

The Montana Extreme - Bore Conditioner (although it is not synthetic) will do the same thing (reduce fouling) and yet protect your bore. The other product that I use is Slip 2000 Gun Oil - it is synthetic and accomplishes the same thing as does MX-BC. Lemoyne uses another Synthetic but I do not know which one it is...

Might take a look at this information...
