I understand what your saying and i agree but once you reach a certain point i wouldn't really call it a dry patch as it is sufficiently lubed and won't smoulder but i always check for that just incase. To me a dry patch has no lube at all and i won't do that as it can cause problems none of us...

Thank you for the compliment but my competitive days are over(health reasons). The shot that went in the 8 blew a patch so thats why i'm gonna try 3 to 1. My main reason for doing this is consistency and when it comes to accuracy consistency is everything.

So far i have tried 6 to 1 , 7 to 1, and 4 to 1. the 6 to 1 and 7 to 1 was no good, the target posted was a 4 to 1 shot offhand at 50yds. I'm gonna give a 3 to 1 a try. still checking patches.

Thanks guys. I'm going to give it a try. I wipe between shots whether i'm hunting or target shooting so thats not an issue. Now the fun of finding which mix the gun likes most.

I read alot of discussion on the 7 to 1 or 6 to 1 oil and water mix and letting them dry and leaving a light coating of oil on the patch and people having good results with it but i don't see anyone using it for hunting purposes and was wondering why? To me it should work well as a hunting lube...

Good shooten

Thank You

Heres mine. the gremlin got me on the last shot. shot offhand.

No one can decide for you but if it was me i would keep it because you may want to hand it down someday and be proud that you built it yourself. i made that mistake years ago and regret it.

check your patches for blow by. if your getting blowby bump the ball up to a 535

Nice job. Its capable of that and more. This was done at 50yds when i was working up a load.

Jax black. rubbed it back with grey synthetic steel wool.

Thank You

I used iron nitrate and permalyn sealer on the stock and rubbed it back with white synthetic steel wool to knock the shine down, i used jax black on all the metal except the lock which i left as is and rubbed the barrel and other metal parts with grey synthetic steel wool to give it a grey...

i'm hunting with mine as well and i don't beat the ball down the barrel.

Thank You
