    Barrel leading?

    Hey! I resemble that remark! :wink:

    Barrel leading?

    It kicks about like a 12 gauge. No biggie. I know a lot of folks on this board say a PRB is fine. Most of the elk hunters here in the west I have talked to use a conical for elk so being a blackpowder newbie that is what I chose. A PRB would be a lot simpler it seems. Haveing read a lot of...

    Delrin ramrod - dissapointed

    You are right, I can handle the "wet noodle" effect by being sure to grip it close er to the barrel. Maybe sanding it will roughen it up and make it less slick?

    Delrin ramrod - dissapointed

    I guess I shoulda asked you guys first! I bought a delrin ramrod for my TC .54 Renegade. I don't like it much. It is slick and about as stiff as a wet noodle. Hard to get a good grip on the darn thing. I bought it to use for hunting so I didn't impale myself out in the woods somewere. Oh...

    WD 40?

    I've been using TC Bore butter. What have you all been using? What is good to use for long term storage?

    WD 40?

    I see a lot of you use WD40 to oil your bores. I was under the impression you were not supposed to use petrolium products with black powder. The label on my can of WD 40 says "contains petrolium distilated" so I have avoided its use. Am I missing something here?

    Thanks for all the input guys! What I would really like to do is use something cheap at the range for the testing. The other two bullets I will be testing are alreay lubed. I have two questions: 1. since I am only going to test a few of these Lyman bullets at the range to see if they shoot...

    What is a good lube for cast conical bullets?
