Re: Isaac Hollis and Son 12 Bore Rifle

Gordon would not have trouble with this, but here in BC, mixtures with beeswax or other stiffeners are too bloody hard in the fall or spring, let alone winter time.

That lube sounds just fine, Wayne and fairly thin.

For a bullet lube using black powder, there is nothing wrong with 60% Beeswax 40% Vaseline, mixed by volume. If too thin for your climate, then try 70/30. The more beeswax in ratio to oil, the thicker the lube.

The 60:40 mix worked for me very well in BP ctg. as well as grooved lubricated bullets in my .45 Longrifle.
