RR I used bore butter for years too until I saw the light. Seasoning the bore a myth. Its not a cast iron fry pan! All bore Butter will do is set in the bore and allow the fouling to adhere to it making follow up loadings difficult. It is true that BB will keep the fouling soft but its still there. Simply swap the bore after each shot and use a sabot that makes the bullet/sabot combo "loadable" without getting a hernia. And pellets deteriorate much quicker than loose powder and are far less versatile.
