Sharp Shooter

I have used it for years and it really worked well for me - never had a problem with it. In your case shooting traditional rifles with true black powder it could be a good product. You really do have to be careful about caking the barrel with BB. BB will reduce fouling if applied to a warm clean barrel in a very thin layer. Shoot I even use it in my trap guns - sure cuts down on plastic fouling.

A better product (IMO) of the same type product, available today are prelubed TC T-17 patches - they are much easier to handle than globs of BB and can be used in the field as a bore wipe also. I use them often at Rondy shoots.

In my case I did use them for bore protection also - but there are many people that have had bad experiances with it. BB and T-17 are both water soluable and assuming you are washing your bore with hot soapy water you are removing it each time you clean - and you want to do that to prevent a build up.

Lots of people will disagree but use what works for you
