bore butter sucks, a ton of better rust protection lubes out there.

This is what you're trying to push through after shooting ONE shot with T7.

Sorry fellas, but with all the products out there i see no reason to use BB on any rifle.exception maybe conical lube and there are a lot better lubes for that purpose also.windex and alcohol for swabbing and cleaning 777 and a quality oil after cleaning is done.also montana bore conditioner i would like to try since they claim it is "not" a synthetic oil.i do not care for any synthetic oil in my rifle barrels..Ray

Use BH 209 and kick the crud ring to the curb. Along with the bore butter.

This 3 shot 100yd group was shot with my Pro Hunter w/ Encore Bergara barrel using a 300gr Harvester PT in a smooth sabot and 100gr of Triple 7 3F a few weeks back. Chrony results were very consistant. I swabbed with a CVA Barrel Blaster patch that was squeezed of all its juices and followed up by a dry patch. I see no problem in you using T7, just take your time between shots and keep everything consistant. I did foul the bore with a primer for the first shot. Try Sabotloaders Windex patch's, I have about 30 patches made up and ready to try.

Ditch the bore butter, ditch the Triple Seven and forget about a quick second shot...Many rifles shoot better with a damp patch or two between shots...

Muzzleloading requires a change of attitude about second shots on game, make the first count, forget the second unless you are squirrel hunting...

Ditch to Triple 7 to what? BH 209 requires no swabbing between shots so please list the powder you suggest him to switch to.

if you like cleaning your gun all the time at the range are hunting then use t7 of not go to BH209 much better powder with the right breech plug and save the cleaning when your at home

Well Omega, I use Goex FFF...I need it for my flinters and it still works just fine in inlines...

I'm not paying for expensive powders just to make cleaning a little easier...

Black Horn 209 and if your gun likes it, don't look back.

Well, I agree to real BP for sidelocks. It's all I use for those too.

However, it not the hot tip for inlines. I see no reason to stick to tradition if you're going to shoot a modern ML. It's too big of a contradiction for me.

Goex is not even close to the performance of BH 209. For a hunting weapon. The inline with modern powder and bullets can't be touched with traditional guns and powder.

The price difference in powders for strictly hunting is a non issue. How many shots a year do you take hunting? It makes no sense to use an inferior powder just to save a few dollars a year.
