I used spit patch for years with complete satisfaction. Later on I dabbled with my own mixes until I finally discovered Hoppes BP Patch Lube and TOW mink oil. WW fluid works well as do a number of other liquids.
I am quite dry now so spit patch isn't an option. Hoppes at the range and mink oil in the bush works.
Hanshi, I use mink oil and the newer version of that hoppes BP cleaner. I have found that after a couple of shots with mink patches the ball will end up getting stuck trying to load it, whereas the hoppes seems to wet the fouling enough that it actually cleans it as I load the ball as I'm intending to. I can shoot all day without swabbing using the hoppes... Only a few shots with mink. My ball/patch combo is very tight.
Thoughts? I'd like to be able to do the same with the mink oil as the hoppes lube
