Use Lard to Lube And Create a Non Stick Coating Inside Blackpowder Barrels

Using lard on new black powder barrels will burn in and create a non stick coating inside the barrel. Lard is what was used before bore butter and sports stores. Lard treats the barrel just as lard treats a cast iron skillet, creating a non stick coating. I've done this to all my muzzeloaders and they all have the smooth barrel they came with when I bought them 10-20 years ago. Bore butter works great, so does lard, it's cheap and you get so much more for your money and it has no odor.
