over oiling is just that... a waste

I plan on trying as many lubes as I can, depending on local availability and taking into consideration effects on bore condition, how hard to use, and effects on accuracy.

I have tried many combinations, but use either this method or Dutch's "Dry patch method" for match situations.

Dan,
While you do your tests for range accuracy, please try 20W50 motor oil for preserving which should be cleaned out with alcohol before shooting. Also a very light spray of water for patch lube. Just enough water to ease the passage of the patch as the ball goes down the bore.
