Now I was once told by a wise man that the only dumb question was the unasked one so here goes.
At the range the other day I saw a man swabbing his bore with a mixture of beeswax and olive oil.
Same thing I use for lube.
Said he was seasoning the barrel prior to shooting.
Never heard of it so kept my mouth shut.
Decided to ask here.
Why do you need to season your barrel prior to shooting Black Powder?
Should you do it prior to shooting smokeless as well?
inquireing mind wants to know.
