Bullet and Patch Lube, again.
I have used commercial lubes with mixed results. I prefer to make up my own mix that is a "secret" "Hungarian Formula" gotten from long deceased Miklos Szalay. I put in Crisco, Aalox lube, some paraffin and a block of beeswax. I call the concoction "Webley Lube" in honor of my loyal Golden and shooting buddy. The stuff has "body" in hot weather and is still plyable in cold weather.
If anyone else has a lube formula, please advise because I like pure research. From my historical research, it seems the frontiersmen and mountain men concocted all sorts of stuff that worked. Adam

My latest that I haven't got to try out yet...2 toilet rings, 2 cans saddlesoap and a half tube of bore butter. Had my cartridge bullets in mind when I whipped up this one, like I said though, don't know what she'll be like come shooting time.

Lube ...
For a patch lube I basically just soak them in a 7 parts to 8 parts water to one part ballistol. You could use any other water soluable oil too or possibly even alcohol which would evaporate faster. In fact a 70% alcohol might work just dandy.
As far as a hard lube goes.. pretty much i'm 50/50 crisco and beeswax (toilet rings work good). This hardens after a few weeks so isn't something you want to lube and store, but it works just fine for several weeks. I have heard also of other oils that could be mixed in as well, but I haven't had the opportunity to try those yet. Aloha, Tom
