I am just now getting serious with smoothbores and their versatility. I had some halfhearted attempts last year at experimenting with tow and wadding and cartridges in my Brown Bess. None were highly successful; I could get on paper at 20 yards but nothing to be proud about.
Now I’m getting a little more serious about it in line with greater enthusiasm for hunting. I ordered some fiber wadding, OS Cards, and OP cards for an 11 guage. (I figured bigger and tight fitting would be better than smaller, loose fitting)
Which of these components do you all prefer to lubricate? They are all pretty tight fitting. I know the wadding will need some grease. Do you guys also lube the rest?
I’ll be using Mink oil tallow
