I saw that same article posted on 24hour Campfire. I was wondering around Cabelas recently and saw the Hornady One Shot on the shelf for $10 - this stuff is really slick when it dries. I even put a layer on the rail of my crossbow just to see how it will do.
 
The Hornady One Shot spray bottle at Cabelas is not a friend of Blackhorn 209. Made bullets difficult to load and gummy, unless totally stripped from the bore with a few wet patches of 91% alcohol. Prior to my powder switch, It worked fine when using blackpowder. One Shot almost had me believing I did not receive real Blackhorn in that jug. It took about 10-12 shots before I stopped seeing significant smoke upon firing Blackhorn. That told me there was a considerable amount of Hornady One Shot still in the bore, even thou I used both sides of two dry patches first.

I do believe what poster Collins has referred to is different, even thou both are called One Shot by Hornady. His is primarily a lube, where my liquid spray is more of a cleaner and rust preventer, used mainly a swab agent between shots with real blackpowder. Another product I had to put away while using Blackhorn 209 was Mr. Flintlock's Lube and Cleaner.

I am a big fan of Birchwood-Casey Barricade and WD-40 Specialist as a rust inhibitor. For cleaning I use Birchwood-Casey 2 In 1 Bore Cleaner and Ballistol as an action CLP. Also use Ballistol on the exterior of gun metal, wood, plastic, synthetic,....etc. No more Breakfree CLP in foam. Wish they made a more liquidy spray aerosol can. Then I might return to using it.
