dbHunterNY Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Is there any break-in for a new muzzleloader? I just got a a new T/C ProHunter and I want to do everything right and get the best performance out of it. I've read up a bit on things, but I'm open to advice. I haven't come across anything in regards to this. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I can. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I do believe that the manufacture for T/C recommends not using any gun oil at all. I use only Bore Butter in all of my Muzzle Loaders for cleaning or lubrication. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierbuck Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Read Bluelk's chaptetrs on ML. There is a reason we stickied those up at the top of this forum, and that reason is Rich had forgotten more about ML's than most of us will ever know. He lays out a very specific plan, which I am sure would do worlds of good for your ML. That said, I just clean 'em and shoot 'em. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Will do and thanks for the advice. I've heard people out there say how bore butter is animal fat and speak of all this bad stuff that could happen. I can't imagine T/C would tell you something that would ruin their product. I went out and bought all the stuff that was talked about in the DVD that came with it. I'll read the stickies on here though too.

huntaholic1 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I own an Omega and was sold Butch's Bore butter, and personally do not like it at all. After cleaning the barrel as prescribed by TC's manual with bore butter, the barrel a week later was so dirty looking it was unbelievable. When I put the gun away it was spotless. so I spoke to a gunsmith and he recommended Remington oil. No problems eversince, and I can clean the rest of my gun with the same product.
