This is only me... but i would not use any product with Teflon in the bore not for the lack of protection, but because Teflon will burn and get sticky hanging on to the fouling. If I could suggest i would suggest that you get a quality 'synthetic' oil to treat your bore with. Rem Oil on the outside parts is probably excellent...

I just bought a tc impact, my first ml, I cleaned it before shooting it my first time, and afterwards. I cleaned it the same way I do all my firearms, with hoppes no.9, a dry patch and rem oil. Before shooting I ran a couple of dry patches down the bore to remove any excess rem oil. Is rem oil a no no? Would I be better off with something like bore butter, and does anyone lubricate their bullets with this stuff? Thanks!
I think in these days you should pass on Bore Butter - if the product is used correctly, or what I think is correct, it will help reduce fouling, but there are better ways today. I use one of two different oils, either Montana X-Treme Bore Conditioner or Slip 2000 - both of these are synthetic.

Which powder are you shooting?
