This is probably a stupid question but bare with me as I am a newby to the sport of shooting rock locks. I understand that a vegetable based lube is used for patches. Would Crisco vegetable based lard work, or would Crisco pork fat based lard work for patches? I have heard that beeswax works and is mixed with another product. If so what do you mix beeswax with? I am an avid reloader of center fire rifle and I use a product called RCBS case lube and or Imperial Sizing Die Wax to lube my brass before resizing in a sizing die. Would either of these two lubes work for round 490 balls with .015 patches? I have put a few balls downrange with both Imperial Sizing Die wax and RCBS lube and it seems to work, balls go down the bore with the ramrod easy, clean up seems not to be a problem. Hope I am not or have not damaged my bore.
I live in Canada, (the I cant get it country no matter what it is). I will try and order some ballistol from Brownells and see if I can get it shipped in the mail. I know they did have some restrictions on the shipping of liquids but I think that has been lifted.
