graphite impregnated patch lube

[kcb_1983]

Hi
I'm a ML newbie and have been reading the treads on this forum about patch lubes and have had an idea of trying a batch of patches using a beeswax and fat formula that im using with some grahite added to see if there is a precievable gain in accuracy. Does anyone have any input on the subject.

Any info is good info.

I think it would be really messy.

I would tend to agree with Mark, and add that the grafite would be something you might want to leave out as it would tend to foul the rifling IMHO.

Thanks for your input I know it would be black and messy but thats not to much worse than being a blacksmith the rest of the time.
I'll give it a miss and try some other lubes to see if they improve my accuracy.

Regards.

I use graphite in my bullet lub. I think that it helps. I don't think that graphite fouls the barrel, the black powder does. I also don't think that the graphite is any more messy than just plain lub.
