    Dumping Ballistol and Gun Oil

    If we try real hard,we might be able to get some laughs out of some of these remarks.

    Ballistol.............

    Seriously, Ballistol is not bad in smell or duties.

    Ballistol.............

    I watched it and I came away with one thought. " Back to the drawing board".

    Ballistol.............

    I regress and you are correct. I did not watch the video you posted. Sorry for that. I promise to watch it when I get my coffee down me here in a bit.

    Ballistol.............

    I wouldn't stake my life on a You Tube opinion.

    At my age, I have come to believe only that which I see with my own eyes. There is so much BS in the sound waves.

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    Could very well be. I am using .018 pillow ticking with .490 ball in the 50's and the same patch with .530 in the 54. However, in all cases the .015 patches were blowing out around the edges quite a bit but they did load easier. And yes, on a second shot, even after swabbing, I have to hit the...

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    I have 5 muzzleloaders and not one can I load without swabbing my bore between shots. I tried it and each time I had to litterly pound the ball home. So far, all I used was TOTW Mink Oil, Moose Milk of 5 to 1 Ballistol and water, Wonder Lube and Bore Butter. A few years ago, during a woods walk...

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    Lol, but what is the fun in that?

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    Now that you solved the dirty part of the patch, what about the chemicals that were used to make up the fabric material and you still have the gag factor. Nope, you still can't convince me. It's so easy to prelube my patch material and I don't have the awful experience of putting something in my...

    Patch lube, spit or lube?

    Yuk! There is no good sane reason to stick a dirty old patch in my mouth. Might as well call it spit gag.;)

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    I tried the spit patching routine before and just plain don't like the idea of sticking cloth in my mouth. Not only do I not like the texture but not knowing what the fabric was treated with, bothers me also. In the old period, there was not much concern about germs and such. Who knew? Marlon...

    What makes a good patch knife?

    I tried these two yesterday with my first time cutting at the muzzle. I found the longer ( 5 inch bade) worked much better for me. It's a Green River knife that I honed razor sharp. One easy swipe and I had a clean cut patch.

    Patch material

    Definitely take a woman with you to the fabric store. I went in Jo Anns one day to buy knitting needles just for taking tangles out of my bait casting reel. I thought I was going to have to beat up 3 old ladies but they looked to be in their 80s and besides, there were three of them so I...

    Oh, the heartbreak! Imagine the disappointment...

    Fed-X is just as bad. They tossed my package under my mailbox out in the rain instead of driving up the driveway to the house to deliver it. A custom $200 Palm Leaf hat got ruined. I can name two other boo boos too. I have been tempted to order a muzzy rifle by mail several times but thinking of...

    How do you load your muzzleloader?

    Thank you much.

    Patch lube for round ball shooting..........Lawdy.

    You fire off a cap between each shot? Wow, I couldn't afford that, certainly not at the $14 sticker I have seen on a tin of 100 caps around where I hail from.
