Re: roundball patch lube.
Now this is a very special post as you are going to see me admit something.
I'm a newbie to roundball shooting! :redface:
Oh yeh, I've been into muzzle loading a looooooong time, 30 years anyway, but only in the last few years have I teken this thing seriously. I'm completely hooked now, only black powder will do, and some of you people have completely corrupted me! :haha: Not only have I switched from bullets to rounballs, I'm even shooting them funny looking guns that use rocks to fire the charge!
Now for the question. I intend to hunt deer this winter with my Jeager .58 flinter and the patched roundball. What lube would work for the patch that won't corrupt the powder charge during an all day hunt?
I currently use beeswax, canola oil, and Crisco mix.
Last year I had the happy occasion to hunt mountain deer in Tennessee, got a shot too with the Lyman GPR flinter. Yup, 35 yards, spike buck broadside, hammer back, aim, click psssst, awe shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
Laughed myself silly. :haha: Only shot I got all year too.
