    Copper anti seize for my nipple and set screw plug.

    I don’t have technically nipple grease. I do have a can of the standard industrial copper colored anti seize . Would it be fine to use it on the nipple threads and set screw plug hole ? I would think so. But thought I’d ask. Yeah the crap is messy if you’re not careful. But I have it...

    Bore brushing.

    Anyone use the nylon style brushes ?
  12. WarDawg

    Bore brushing.

    I didn’t know what forum to drop this in. I take it we don’t have a cleaning forum separate. I read about how to use the water cleaning method with jag and patch. But I haven’t really read about how often people use a bore brush. Also shooting round ball lead , do these rifles get a lead...

    Patch lube.

    I got several things to use and try out. Bore butter. Hoppes oil . Ballistol. I found some Culver’s paste wax I made years ago. It is a wood stock paste you rub into the wood and buff off. It consists of 1/3 beeswax 1/3 turpentine 1/3 boiled linseed oil. It’s something you make yourself...

    Another newbie question. Fired a couple primers

    Thanks for the reply. I read Ballistol can give a brownish look when left in a barrel. I patched it at full strength. And thanks for the Hoppes in question. I just got some of the Hoppes black powder cleaner in. Has a damn child proof cap that I’m struggling with. 😳. I only used the normal...

    Another newbie question. Fired a couple primers
