I'm going back now to the early 80's. That was when I started muzzleloading with a TC Hawken roundballer. At that time, the general consensus around me was that Crisco did about as good a job as any product out there for lube. It held up to high temps. It didn't have any salts in it, and it seasoned the bore the same way it seasoned a cast iron skillet. It was also dirt cheap. My first little container of the stuff-- some 40 years old now is still sitting on the shelf, and my son is dipping into it for his smokepole.
About 10 years ago, I was working for a logistics company and we had a skid of Butter Flavor Crisco break open at one of the warehouses. Insurance covered the loss, and the warehouse employees got the salvaged product. I walked away with a lifetime supply. However, all my muzzleloaders smell like somebody just made popcorn.
I was just wondering how this mink oil product stood up to what used to be the gold standard-- certainly one of the best things to ever come out of Cincinnati.
