Muley, you seem have have difficulty understanding what you read; first on the Colorado elk regulations, and now here.

What i wrote was, ' Several times i have reloaded a dirty rifle, and continued the hunt for days and/or weeks. Most times this worked just fine. However, ever once in a great while, the rifle would of a sudden, rust.'

I agree with Carlos that Blackhorn powder is very good about not rusting rifle barrels. One can go years of hunts, and see no rust. However, when least expected, rust can/may happen. It happened to me and to others. People should 'know' about this, so they can treat their rifles accordingly.

Myself, i 'proved' over and again that Blackhorn powder will never rust a barrel. It was 'proven' to me so very many times, i took it as a 'known'. One test doesn't prove an idea correct. A jillion tests don't prove an idea correct.

One example of Blackhorn debris rusting a barrel, does prove it can and will rust a barrel.

It was a pretty extreme test though. It should have brought out rust.


The other deal with the regulations is hardly fair. It wasn't me reading the regulations wrong. It was the law enforcement department at the DOW.

Hardly my fault, but you like to try and prove me wrong. Even when you don't.

I have had no trouble with bh209 and rusting and many don't. I certainly believe what Carlos has said about his experience with it along with many others. But the fact that there has been more than one case of bh209 debris causing rust says that it is not completely 100% without a doubt not ever going to cause rust. That cannot be said about it.

Shoot! I don't either and I am using T7... it all in know your gun-powder-climatic conditions

I'd never leave T7 in my barrel.

that's because you believe all that is written instead of working with it... it is really easy to neutralize. And then it is just a matter of paying attention...

I shoot in September and strip clean in January, but I also ran a windex patch after shooting... followed by a teeny tiny bit of Montana Xtreme... So in effect i am shooting a Semi fouled barrel all the time...

That's not the same as leaving it completely fouled. That just about cleans a T7 shot barrel.

Correct...

I have friends who shoot N-SSA and only use black powder. I have watched them with original guns just spray a bunch of WD-40 down the barrel and run a patch through the barrel a few times and will not clean it for a few days. The WD-40 acts as a neutralizer I guess.

You take that back Sabotloader. I ain't never fouled your dang barrel!
