It's been a long time coming but look out Deer.

I tested TC bore butter on a .45 custom flintlock for over a year. I fired the rifle one or two times a month for a year and never cleaned. Would shoot then reload with a bore butter patch. After loading I would run one more patch with bore butter down until touching the ball and then back out. At the end of the test time, I had not experienced any problems with rust. Sorry that I traded the rifle off. Still use bore butter but now I do clean rifles after a shooting session. During a hunt, I continue to use just bore butter without cleaning until the hunt is over.

Sorry I'm from Sioux City but I made a mistake. I live in Northeast Iowa now that's where I will be Hunting.
Made Mouse Milk tonight and mixed my patch lube. I hope to soak and dry some patches in the next couple days per Dutch's instructions.
Planning on going to the range after Labor Day.

Everybody has their own way of doing things. For me personally, I sight my guns in with a clean barrel. I don't want to have to foul the gun and then clear and clean the weapon every evening. I routinely leave my guns loaded for months at a time with no corrosion problems but these guns were loaded with a sparking clean barrel, not a fouled one.

What I found in regard to the water soluble oil accuracy method and hunting is this: I was able to achieve almost unbelievable accuracy experimenting with different dilution ratios of water soluble oil and water as directed. At the range where I can control things better, it was great. In a hunting situation, I found that I like a "slicker" patch to make it easier to load & reload. The accuracy suffered for me was not worth worrying about at all.I do not foul my barrel before hunting, I believe the fouling just attracts moisture and that can be a problem. These are just my personal observations and how I have adjusted to suit my needs. I learned the accuracy potential of a round ball from Dutch Schoultz, thank you my friend.

I don't recommend water soluble oils for black powder gun barrel protection from corrosion. Just saying :thumbsup:

I do the same for hunting. I find my loads do not differ too much with a fouled barrel.

Well front sight is on Rifle and rifle cleaned. I have all the accessories I think I need thanks to clearance at Wal Mart and other gun shops. I picked up 10lbs of Prydex RS powder on sale for $ 6 a pound years ago. Next chance I get off to the Range I go.
I have Hornady's .530 lead balls and Remington's .530 lead ball also. I have patch's .010 .015 & Pillow ticking from Wal Mart in strips. Soaked to Dutch's Instructions.
I have a lot of Conical's from several Manfacture's but I really want to just try a Patched Ball this year and see how it goes.

I have to say I'm looking forward to it. Question is your suspoise to hunt with a fouled barrel one shot then load to hunt won't it start to rust before the season ends ?


Where does your spelling and guidance come from?

Both are wrong.....

I think you may definitely encounter rust problems. A fouled bore is not necessary in the first place.

Why would you post about his spelling? That's rude and totally unnecessary.

And with autocorrect in the background, no one is safe from spelling miss steaks.

Pyrodex is way more corrosive than black powder!
It is also harder to ignite the stuff.

He's new to muzzleloading and came here for advice. Why not share your experience and knowledge instead of petty insults. Make newcomers feel welcome. Why would anyone want to come back here if they're going to be insulted?
