I have a Crockett that I got some time ago, but still havent shot it!
What are ya waiting for?I have a Crockett that I got some time ago, but still havent shot it!
This time of year, you wouldn't get two rounds down the bore in this area.Bore Butter worked just fine out of my Crockett.
This sounds like a good idea, gonna have to give it a try.So, for my hunting loads I melt my mink oil and dip my patches in and let they set up with my ball in a loading block. Once it hardens it loads smoothly.
you did the patches correctly been doing it that way since the day bore butter was brought on the market I melt it in a fondu pot with a adjustable temp. I buy it by the gallon and my patching by the boltEveryone talks about TOTW mink oil? I have a can that I use on my boots and other leather articles, not the same thing I’m assuming?
As far as bore butter I’ve used it for years with my pistols and Hawkins rifles and had no complaints, I truly believe it in a way seasoned the cylinders and barrels of the pistols making them easier to clean and piece of mind storing them for long periods. However…… I’m almost sure my patches were over saturated with it, I’d melt it to liquid form then dip them out to cool. Probably didn’t do me any favour's. Anyway didn’t get a chance to try some different things all you guys recommend today cause the wife came down, to the shop hogged the bench and decided she wanted to shoot today! Oh well, always glad to have good company at the bench! As always thanks everyone for your reply’s.
Cullie.
I'm up here in God's country east of grand forks ND. and I just keep the zip lock bag of patches in a inside pocket and have no problem shooting all day at our monthly shootsThis time of year, you wouldn't get two rounds down the bore in this area.
About as good as my phone will do.Post an image of the crown of the muzzle…nice clear image
