I notice Dixie Gun Works sells both lamb (available) and mutton tallow (not available at the moment) for use as a patch lube and in bullet lube. The lamb tallow costs about three times more than the mutton. Is there any benefit to using one over the other for a patch lube?
I've used mutton tallow as part of the Gato Feo formula lube with great results for felt wads. I normally use Hoppe's 9 black powder lube for patches but if tallow is better, I'm willing to switch. (Not a Tareyton cigarette smoker for those who remember the old ads.)
Thanks for any information.
