Finally made it back to the range yesterday..
Shot three five shot 50 yard groups using 70 grains 2F Goex, .490 balls that all weigh between 177.0-177.5 grains, .018 denim patch that compressed to .011. First group lubed with Dutch’s 6:1 Ballistol to water, second group lubed with olive oil, third group lubed with Bore Butter.
The Bore Butter Group was so bad I didn’t take a picture of the target. I have one tube of Bore Butter that will no longer be used with my muzzleloader...maybe I can use it to lube door hinges so they don’t squeak. I would offer to give someone the Bore Butter but...you really don’t want it.
This is the 6:1 Ballistol group now...the shot in the five ring was totally my fault. It IS NOT a flier...

And this is the group using Olive Oil

Next week will test again using 75 grains and 80 grains with the 6:1 Ballistol....if time permits I’ll do the same with Olive Oil.
Still waiting on the Mink Oil to arrive.
