I've always believed in barrel seasoning, now you're telling me it can't be done?
I figure if you season it like an iron skillet, it's seasoned. I have not cooked in a fresh barrel yet, but now I'm going to have to try.

Un seasoning
I've gotten a few rifles with seasoned barrels. A proper cleaning with Ballistol took it right out.http://thefiringline.com/forums/imag...es/biggrin.gif

Hard to break old habits and to each his own !!
I always season a new barrel or at least try to. Mostly with mixed results and certainly not a point to argue. Mostly because it's not anything that is easily documented. I have one .45 Side-lock that responded well and then there are others that I really can't tell. I'll stick to my techniques and they are hurting anyone . .....
Just don't tell me, the tooth fairy does not exist. ...... Be Safe !!!

Wait a minute
The label on the front of this new tube of bore butter I just bought says "season's barrels to make fouling softer"

I heard that in a few years all of the Teflon coated frying pans will be discontinued from being sold in the U.S. and will be replaced by ceramic coated frying pans. The ceramic coating will last longer, will be more effective and shouldn't produce any of the questionably unhealthy byproducts that can be released from the Teflon coated pans by high heat. Some Traditions guns had Teflon coated bores at one time but that process didn't last very long. And Investarms use to make some chrome lined bores along with some other muzzle loader manufacturers.

I think this thread should be closed because it has fallen down the rabbit hole.

Here is my recipe. Take your brass brush and scrub inside of barrel to all bluin comes out. A lot of folks don't know that. Clean w/ ballestol mixed 3/1. Run dry swabs till residue no longer remains Then run a cotton patch w/ pure ballestol. The the barrel is shiny & clean and protected against rust--ain't that all you need? Or use another type of lubricant if you don't like ballestol.
