    Hornady making primers and/or caps?

    I just read that Hornady has opened a plant to make primers and (hopefully) caps. Will they be available to shooters or are they strictly for in-house use. If they sell to the public, I have no doubt they will be top quality offeings. Has anyone else heard about this?

    Mink Oil

    I have two jars of Mink Oil that have sat in a barn drawer for at least 10 years and look fine. It is for waterproofing and preserving leather. Is this the same stuff that folks use to lubricate their patches?
