While some people find a number of uses for bore butter, I find it makes a good thing to throw at a trash can. Other then an occasional conical bullet I might lube for old time sake, I have no use for bore butter. I have a full tube of it around the house. Never used but I still have one.

And I don't care if T/C who sells the stuff, recommends it. I wax my cars not my rifle bores. After you get it clean, use a quality gun oil. Swab the bore with the gun oil. Before you shoot next time, simply take a patch with some alcohol on it and swab the bore. That will remove the oil from the bore. Then a few dry ones.

I also like to push a clean patch down to the breech and pop two caps into it. This blows clean the bolster and also shows you whether or not you have a clear fire channel. If the fire channel is clear, the patch will show burn marks. Your then ready to load.
