So the old T/C 1000+ (Bore Butter) is gone and I am about. What do you suggest as a substitute for patches and bore seasoning?

A lot of the ‘stuff’ marketed as Mink Oil has very little Mink Oil in the secret recipe. The Sofsole for example has 5% - 15% in it if their data sheet is to be believed. Mostly Bleached Tallow, whatever that may be.Mink oil for your patch lube, you can use it in your bore after cleaning too. I use Ballistol after cleaning, several on here like Birchwood Casey Barricade as a preservative. You can drive yourself nuts looking up and trying different recipes for patch and bullet lubes and there's no need to.View attachment 284256
I was being lazy and just took a pic of what's on my table. That's for my boots. The stuff I got for my rifles is downstairs and says 100% on the lid. Lay a wager that boot polish would still work if one were to give it a try.A lot of the ‘stuff’ marketed as Mink Oil has very little Mink Oil in the secret recipe.

I prefer Montreal Seasoning, preseason game that way....The only way you season a barrel is to mix McCormick,s Italian Grind in with the Powder.
It is the propagation of the false notion that the bore (smooth or rifled) of a firearm can acquire a coat of burned on oil like Gramma's cast iron frying pan that make people get "unglued".I do wonder a little bit about those that come unglued by those who mention that bore butter might season their bores.
