I know this has been hashed over here and in other forums. I’d settle for a link to another thread.
Where did the idea that petroleum products and Black Powder don’t mix come from? Is there any truth to it?
I’ve read the lengthy article that started with a product called Natural Lube 103 and ended with the formulation of Bore Butter and its cousins. It sounds like something a marketing person would come up with to sell his product.
TIA!

P.S.: There’s an old recipe for a bullet lube from the 1930s; 50/50 Japanese Beeswax and Vaseline (1 pound each), with one tablespoon of motor oil. This is from the guy at my local ML shop who believes the title of this post is BS.
