I've heard the horror stories, too...
But, not being a purist, Bore Butter is all I've ever used in my CVA caplock. Both to lubricate my home cast Minie Balls, and to season the bore.
No rust that I can detect, or build up, over 5 years or so, so I believe I'll keep using it.
A friend of mine lubricates patches for his .54 roundballs with it, as well as using it as a bore seasoner/preservative. Seems to work for him, too.
Neither of us is a high volume shooter, if that matters- more in the 'if we use front stuffers, we can hunt an extra week' crowd.
We both shoot Pyrodex, if that makes a difference.
