Actually Ray I still do use a form of BB on all of my rifles but I apply it to a very hot bore and let it do its' thing. It is very good for helping reduce the effects of crud in the bore.

The newer versions of BB butter are a lot easier to handle and do not gum things up like bulk Bore Butter. The new form T17 Blue Patches or Wonderlube 1000 Plus Blue Patches are great for getting an even application.

The correct application of BB has gotten a bad rap since Randy Wakeman, decided it was non-sense.
