I'm not particularly nuts about WD-40 but it is a water displacement oil and I am a bit nuts about keeping water out of the barrel.
I believe there must be some other effective penetrating oil that might do as well butt I don't know what that might be.

Someone once suggested Kroil but I never got around to trying before mother nature altered my vision.

Peace Dutch

Loyalist Dave,
How have your experiments worked out for you.

Ordered mine last night. If i dont get it in a week, i know where to find you and complain :blah:

In about a year I will probably have another original, which is almost "fresh from the bench" in its condition and I will see how this other wrought iron barrel behaves then.
I clean mostly with just moose milk and patches, but sometimes use the traditional soap and water method if I shot a lot. It is just much faster using water. Still, I never pull rust from this barrel...
In my modern steel barreled rifles, the moose milk patch method is fast and easy.

I had excellent results with moose milk when using it to swab between shots. Accuracy was there at 100 yards, my patches though had blow by from the .562" ball. I'd love to find some .022 - .024" patches to try.

Being pretty new to all this, I was looking at some patches and realised they were showing signs of blowby (I'm using .015 ticking - that's the thickest ticking I can find around here - in a .45 Kentucky. .445 ball). Anyhow, I had made some lubed felt wads - lubed with Gatafeo's #1 - for my 1858 Remington (when I get it), so thought I'd try them over the powder. Worked well, patches looked good and it seemed to make loading easier. I need to do more experimenting, however.

Stanley,
Look at the Tips on my web site for the
Fine Tuning Your Patch Thickness and run that experiment till you find by way of those shims what will give you a really good seal with no blow by.

Just a thought

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

I just received my copy this afternoon. Read through it and I have some ideas about what I need to change. And an idea or two of my own as an extension of the work presented. Which will require some experimentation....
:grin:

I just ordered it myself. As an absolute beginner (I haven't yet fired my first shot) I think I will be starting on the right foot.
