Hybrid patch lube

[nw_hunter]

I use to use T/C borebutter for patch lube, but I didn't like the way it hardened up in cold weather.

I mostly use just olive oil now, but I like the smell of the BB, so I decided to try and mix the two.I used about 3/4 O oil to 1/4 BB.It mixed well to a golden colored liquid.

I punched out about a hundred new pillow tick patches and lubed them up with the hybrid liquid.
They smell real purdy, and now it's off to my favorite shootin place to give them a try.

You never know!......I could be on to something.

Never know 'till you try. Good luck and good shooting.

When I was a kid, I found myself with no lube and no tallow or beeswax around to make any with. So I grabbed a stick of salt free butter out of the fridge and stuffed it into a jar and went rabbit hunting. I carried it in my inside jacket pocket to keep it soft. It made a fine lube on a crisp fall day and and I had good luck with the rabbits. Had to keep the jar in the icebox though to keep it from going rancid on me, but otherwise it was just fine.

If you like the smell of BB and are happy with the olive oil you might consider using just the olive oil and flavoring it with spearmint or peppermint oil to your liking and totally eliminate the BB altogether. :thumbsup:
