lead bore fouling

[WonkyEye]

I used DGL lube from track with good results on real bullets with a wool felt wad, also lubed with DGL.

It's messy though, so I switched to powder coating with Eastwood hot coat bright signal red. I kept the wads, but use a home brew liquid lube on them now.

I've never shot REAL bullets but I was wondering if chorizo's formula would be thick enough to stick to my Maxis.

It likely will. You need less of it than you would expect…

Hey Hesp.
For the future I'd suggest also trying a card wad over powder followed by a lube impregnated felt wad. My reason for saying that is the rifle has relatively deep square bottomed grooves that can delay getting a good seal from the lead deforming and squishing in to fill the corners. That provides the opportunity for gas cutting which with soft lead is typically how gas cutting gets leading started.

The above is worth repeating…
