I call anything that's dirty coming out of my barrel"dirt". I'm sorry that's not what you call it. The more important thing is what do you or other readers know about using propylene glycol antifreeze for patch lube. I'm just trying to turn my fellow BP enthusiast on to something that may possibly benefit them.Fouling, not dirt
Just an FYI if you have pets. Make sure you don't spill that anywhere where it can puddle slightly. It tastes like candy to dogs and cats and will kill them dead in short order.Tried a new lube today and I think I may be on to something. 10 shots, no swabbing, loaded with wood under barrel ramrod, loaded easy and that's as good or better as I've shot with that setup.
Could of shot many more I'm sure , I don't know if I would of made 80 or 100. 10 was all I had time for as I had to get my grandson off the bus.Only 10 shots! C’mon man!
Pretty sure that's ethylene glycol not propylene glycol. It is actually used in medicine and makeup.Just an FYI if you have pets. Make sure you don't spill that anywhere where it can puddle slightly. It tastes like candy to dogs and cats and will kill them dead in short order.
After 20-years of use, Stumpy's Moose Snot by forum member @Stumpkiller is the best I've used. Doesn't freeze, doesn't run, as long as I can feel it with my finger on the opposite side of the patch that's being rubbed in its "wax shoe-polish" consistency, I never have to do a cleaning wipe. If it loads a bit hard then I just have to use more patch lube on the next patch and keep shooting. It's also made out of ingredients that were all available (different brands perhaps) in the 1700's and 1800's.Tried a new lube today and I think I may be on to something. 10 shots, no swabbing, loaded with wood under barrel ramrod, loaded easy and that's as good or better as I've shot with that setup.

Yup @flatcreek, you're correct. I thought it said ethylene glycol and when I saw it was anti-freeze didn't look any closer. Evidently it's not as toxic as Ethylene Glycol and is often found in "Pet Safe Anti-freeze" but it is still toxic to pets.Pretty sure that's ethylene glycol not propylene glycol.
