Great, thank you very much!I use 1 Ballistol : 6 water when the temp. is above freezing. When it's <32 deg., I add 1 part 90% isopropyl alcohol to the mix. Either mixture on an almost dripping patch works extremely well in all my ML's and doesn't really require swabbing the bore between shots.
Pine-Sol, really? Wow, cleaning a muzzleloader sure isn't like other rifles. Thank you!
I'm a little confused, how much is 1part and so on?Pine-Sol, really? Wow, cleaning a muzzleloader sure isn't like other rifles. Thank you!
It can be anything that can hold liquid. A cap from a soda bottle will work, but measuring out the twenty parts would get tedious.I'm a little confused, how much is 1part and so on?
Thank you. I appreciate it.One part is what you make it. One can be one ounce or more, as long as it is kept in proper proportional amounts of each. The above would be one ounce Balistol, one ounce Pinesol etc. I use Murphy’s Oil Soap, 90% isopropyl Alcohol and Peroxide, equal parts. This is sometimes referred to as MAP. Good luck.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I appreciate it. PS. I like the Ireland Forever in Gaelic.Your welcome RATROD, I edited my post to give the amounts of each ingredient for a simply starting place.
I know there are many variations of moose milk out there, everyone has their favorite but, can anyone give me the recipe for moose milk using Ballistol?
Mostly cleaning.I'm curious what your intended use for the moose milk is, patch lube, cleaning, or both ?
Yep!, Iv'e done it both ways, using peroxide or replacing it with water, both work, I think the peroxide works better, Just DON'T use water with chlorine in it.Sometimes the Murphy's Oil Soap, Rubbing Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide (Could use water with not ill effect)
Note: All those variants have worked to someone's satisfaction. So don't get too worried about getting the proportions exactly.
Thank you. Sorry for not responding sooner, I just saw your reply.One more just for your amusement:
Shake well before using.
- 3 oz castor oil
- 1 oz Murphy's Oil Soap
- 4 oz witch hazel
- 8 oz 91% isopropyl alcohol
