Home Made or Commercial?

Home brew. Moose snot and moose milk, Stuppys of course. I like it alot. I have used bore butter in the past and have also liked it.

 

[Headhunter]

I use Natural Lube and Woods WIZ.

I use SnoSeal...

I've been using a batch of Moose Juice I worked up for a lube and I like it just fine. As soon as I get a chance I'll work up some Moose Snot and give it a try.

equal parts bees wax, crisco, and olive oil for ball lube and murfy's and alcahol for cleanin'

Just made a batch of Moose Snot, and it looks good. I hope to get out over the holidays for some trials.

 

I have been a believer in Crisco for a long time. It is readily available, breaks up crud easily and I think is legal in NY. Free of trans-fat and all that sort of thing you know.

I have been using Crisco recently and found it works good but I shot a few with just a spit patch and could not see any disadvantage with accuracy. I think I need to try it a bit more but I think just plain old spit my be all that is needed. :thumbsup:

Seems to me the original question was about "accuracy" with various lubes. I've never gotten better accuracy than with plain old spit with just a touch of chewing tobacco, "Southern Pride" by name. I use much thicker patching than most people, canvas or old blue jean legs running .028-.034" with a ball .010" under bore diameter. With that tight load spit is the only lube that allows me to shoot a match without swabbing the bore. For hunting I use deer tallow or sheep tallow. Accuracy is about as good as spit but it is very hard to load more than twice without swabbing.

A good spit of your favorite chaw on a couple miniature marshmellows is good catfish bait too. This is where the water is too deep to shoot them! :rotf:

 

[Greenmtnboy]

My best accuracy is with a ballistol, water mix for a dry lube.
It's to hard to load for a second shot so when hunting I use mink oil from TOW.
I get half to three quarter inch groups at 50yrds with mink oil.
Latley I have been experimenting with home tallows and found a two to one deer tallow to marmot oil has the same accuracy as mink oil.
When shooting off hand compitions I use lehigh lube also from TOW.
:hatsoff:

No doubt about pasture griz!!! I shot a marmot this fall that bottomed out my grandmothers kitchen scale that goes to 25 lbs.
Biggest rock pig I have ever nailed with my 36.
Big enough to feed a whole rondyvoo and enough fat to fill a mason jar once it was rendered down :shocked2:
