I have to agree, there is no such thing as seasoning a muzzleloader barrel in the sense you would season a cast frying pan. Nothing is going to season a barrel like that, but I like to think I keep my barrels in a consistent state so they shoot the same any time I take them out. I do not use Bore Butter as a patch lube, as I prefer something wetter to soften the fouling between shots. Petroleum products only add to fouling problems when mixed with black powder, and I never have a problem with rust when coating my bores with Bore Butter.
I don't really understand the reasoning of bores being "ruined" by using Bore Butter, and perhaps that could be explained a little better? Is someone finding something corrosive in the product?
