There is nothing wrong with Bore Butter if you are using it for PRB's. It works great for a patch lube. I would not use it as a barrel treatment, but use it for PRB's with great success. And it works great for lubing bullets.

I suggest you do what I did. Throw that can of T7 in the garbage where it belongs. Pick up a can of 3F BP and go shooting. Swab with a spit patch then two dry patches between shots and you can shoot all day.

T7 is just way too finicky, and the hygroscopic properties are bad IMO. Go back to black. You get to shoot a whole lot more for less. So guys might say they pick up a couple hundred feet per second with al these new-fangled powders. And maybe they do. But that is after they spend a month with their rifle. They have to change nipples, and breech plugs, and try all the different types of sabots and bullets, and on and on and on.

Just buy a pound of black. Get a good patch and round ball if you want to shoot round balls. If not then get a good heavy conical that is sized to your rifle. You will not be sorry. And it will be very simple. Just load and shoot .

Muzzleloader hunting has gotten far too complicated. And in order to perpetuate the sport the mfrs. have to come out with new and improved products every year. This year I read where a guy bought two pounds of the new "Super Powder". So I guess next year they will have to bring out "Super Duper Powder". Tom.
