    Cooking Oils as patch lubes

Then later on I started seeing Bore Butter in sporting goods stores, then I found this forum and now I see all kinds of concoctions. I still use spit for target shooting but deer tallow and bees wax for...

    Stopped at Dixie Gun Works on my way south for a month of fishing and picked up the Jan/Feb issue. Says inside no more retail sales. Will be available at some dealers, so I I assume places like Dixie will carry it.

    Is That Seasoning or Fouling On My Patch?

    Most TSP sold today has no Phosphate in it, you have to read the label even if it says TSP on it. Phosphate was removed from detergents several years ago in Michigan as it pollutes the water ways.

    Anyone in Wisconsin sell BP?

    I checked Bills Sport Shop and found their price higher than any where else. Crater Fire Works in Mineral Ill had lots of it the last time I stopped there. Price was great. He is out in farm country and does not have a sign advertising his business, it is best to call to see if he is home. His...
