Ive read on here that many use olive oil and beeswax so last week I mixed up a small batch and put it in a old medicine bottle that had 100 round cut patches stacked in it. I set the bottle in the hot sun for a few hours so the lube would stay soft and get absorbed in the patches.
Went to the range with my .45 T/C Hawken. Using 60 grain of 3F, RB and these patches I proceed to shoot the best groups every. My groups shrank from 2-4" @ 60 yards to 1 1/2 - 2". Several groups had 2 shots that went into the same hole.
I had been using T/C bore butter saturated patches in both the .45 and .54 and I cant wait until I try them in the .54.
Bottom line is dont be afraid to experiment with different components as you might be surprised with the results and thanks to those who turned me on to this. Mike
