RRW:
I noticed that you mentioned using Bore Butter. I know some guys that have had problems with it. Most of the problems came from coating barrels in storage and hoping it prevents rust. I think what happened is the barrels weren't perfectly clean when they covered them with Bore Butter. Some time later they found frosting in the barrel under the Bore Butter.
I finally quit using it all together. I hate worrying.

That frosting would really bite! I'm like you, probably weren't perfectly clean. I'll sure keep that in mind though. I see you have a custom .58 Hawken? I shot one for years, wasn't a custom though. Italian, bought it in 1976. Had read an article where Val Forgett had taken all the Big Game in Africa with a Navy Arms in .58, decided I "just" had to have one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Shooting it with the loads he used on Cape Buffalo and etc., off a bench, hurt I'm here to tell ya. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Decided that load wasn't needed for these deer around here. Bet it is a hog dropping SOB!
