It is not a good feeling to get that muzzle loader out from being stored for months and send a clean patch down the barrel only to find that rust has accumulated in the barrel. Rust in the barrel can affect your accuracy. That pitting can grab the patched ball when being fired and cause the patch to slip. Pitting makes the loading difficult as well. I started using these months ago and found that after cleaning the barrel as usual I can use one of these and my barrel will be protected. Using oil or solvents as the final cleaning and protection will allow the solvent or oil to slowly run off the inside of the barrel and accumulate in the breach. This can make firing that first shot difficult because it will contaminate the powder of your first load. After normally cleaning the barrel I use just one of these to swab the barrel before putting the gun away for storage. These take the place of that oil or solvent to prevent rusting between usage of the gun.Read full review

I probably should have purchased this from CVA or wherever it was available other than here. Product is very dry, patches sticking together, making them impossible to use. The stuff I got is likely old stock. Waste of money. Better off finding in a store somewhere.

Lifts dirt and cloud rust you would swear wasn't even there when scoping the barrel. I plan to make this a permanent part of my rifle care!
