My Newbie Gear & Rifle

Everything is looking good except that yellow tube. I would trash it. Spit at the range and mink oil hunting. Clean with water flush then WD40 followed by Barricade.

Although another great range lube that allows all day shooting in Hoppe’s Black Powder Patch Lube. I cut my patches square ahead of time. Try a drip in 3-spots, rub in well around the edges (none needed in the patch center) and see how it groups. Then try a drip in each corner & repeat ... see what the bore/load likes - more or less lube - for best grouping!

You're off to a good start. I use an old tackle box for range trips, too. And welcome.
