I'm done posting in this forum, like trying to explain things to democrats!
I never said metal doesn't absorb oils(if your referring to me that I did)
I was just saying that oils and like lubricants can attract and hold dirt and un burned powder, which in return
narrows the diameter of the inside of the bore, which will lead to harder ,loadings!
and I never meant any offence to you RR< and am sorry if you took it that I did, wasn't my view or point! at all !
was just saying there are better bullet sabot powder combo's that can be used that don't require any Bore butter to make loading easier!
