Lubricants for Patched round ball shooting
21/02/06 03:32 AM

Lately, I've been doing some testing im my .45 FlintLock with my bro and his .60 Jaeger Flinter.
; I've settled on a 50:50 mix of Murphy's oil soap and (Sig) Castor Oil bought for mixing my own RC airplane fuel.
; It is mixed cold, then shaken and applied to patches. If left for a period of time, it might separate, but just shake the bottle and it's mixed again. This mix forms a creamy white viscous liquid, that once applied to patches, leaves them pliable in freezing weather. So far, the mix provides great accuracy and consistancy, with no wiping required between shots for an entire day's shooting.
: Bro has a 50:50 mix of Murphy Oil Soap and Neetsfoot OIL (not compound) that, for him, works just as well in the Jaeger.
: I have also found that LehighValley lube (TOW) shoots extremely well from my rifle, but it is said it needs a very slick barrel to work well. In mine, it is superb, but more expensive than the Castor Murph's mix. Other's say it lacks lubricity in their barrels. The thicker Murph's and Castor mix is slicker than LehighValley lube.
; I thought this might help some guys with a cold weather lube. I've been searching for many years for an accurate, multishot cold weather lube, and have now found it in the noted mix. Until now, for over 30 years, I've sworn by spit lubed patches for target work, but the Murph and Castor shoots as well or even better. I'll not use spit again.
