	Butch's Black Powder Bore Shine. 3 or 4 wet patches after the match and you are done if you've damp (emphasize just damp) patched (1 damp no dry necessary) between shots with NAPA water soluble cutting oil 1 to 6 with water and bore mopped to dry the chamber.

It was the patch cleaner used by serious ML shooter for years until one of the patent owners died and it was not produced any longer. But it is back and is the Best of the Best (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I use it exclusively at the range since it's re-availability because I am primarily a BPCR shooter.
