Personal Care Lubricant for Muzzleloaders-What do you think?

[fjrdoc]

I know that there are as many patch lubes for muzzleloaders out there as there are members. Last night, I started thinking about if there was some form of water soluable patch lube that could be tried for use in muzzleloaders.
I thought that it might make cleanup between shots easier that fat or grease based lubes. The idea of using water-based personal lubes popped into my mind as an option.
I have not tried any product nor searched the forum for any previous posts. Thought that I would throw the idea out there to see what you all think.

Why? Patch lube was perfected over and over again and it still comes back to the simplest things.

You can only find out if you give it a try. As long as the lube prevents the patch from burning it seems to work.
We all have magic formulas cooked up in the kitchen with arcane knowledge, but iv shot spit, wheel berring grease, transmission fluid, lard, possum fat, mink oil, olive oil, olive oil and bees wax, bore butter, moose milk, and can’t tell the difference
Now a true blood shooter who gets 50-5 x may see a differnce, a 1/4 inch at fifty yards. But I was never that shooter at best, and at my age ain’t that shooter now.
Shoot it, clean it and tell us how your jerkins worked.
And don’t listen when your buddies tell you they get a hint of lavender from your shooting

I'm not so sure he was thinking of hand lotion.

Why not try searching the internet for front stuffing personal lubricant and see what pops up. Perhaps you could come up with some suggestions.

You guys need to get your mind out of the gutter.

I was thinking about something like K-Y jelly.

 

[Phil Coffins]

That should be a more expensive solution to a simple problem.

I would be interested to know what kind of comments the OP would get at the range using "personal lube" .

"Hey honey, I'm going to the range. Where's the Astroglide?"

OK, but most guys will want a 'hidden label' container for it at the range!!

I still like extract of unicorn horn!

Amen, Bro.

 

[ScottK]

Just don’t get mixed up as to what activity you are doing

 

[formernuke]

The water content would worry me for rust reasons.

Ain't gonna be no dinner waiting when he gets home.

[BoomStick]

Most of them are some sort of glycerin or glycol, water-based sugars yes but when your barrel gets heated up it's probably gonna get sticky...which would be a more interesting experience...
