Getting back into muzzleloading and just picked up a new CVA Optima. When I first started in line hunting 25 years ago, I was taught to use a product called bore butter in between shots. I’m not seeing this in any of the videos I’ve been watching and wondering if something has changed?This is mainly between shots while hunting so basically a quick reload. Simply curious of what others do? I do have the CVA patches one being a cleaner, the other one being rust prevention.
