The regular lube is a thicker, harder lube. I designed it about, close to 5 years ago and made it for hunting. I got tired of other lubes breaking down in foul weather and rusting up on me. Even though its a thicker lube, you can still use it on shooting patches. Adding bear oil to it, makes it softer, thinner and easier to spread, plus bear oil has been a long time frontiersman/ mountain man anti rust agent for hundreds of years.I’m new into the whole patch lube muzzle loading. What’s the difference between the bear oil and no bear oil? Thanks!
