I tried a bottle of this stuff, just to see if it would wipe off some of the BP residue around the nipple on the outside after my cleaning routine. Nope. Hardly touched the residue. Back to a plain old damp rag.

EZ lube.....lubricates the opening action of one's wallet.

Yup. I saw this gunk in my LGS and thought I'd see what it does. Proves that even at 67 you can still make poor choices.
Good ol' water , but before I leave the range and while the bore is still warm I run a few wet/dry patches of Hoppe's 9 Black Powder cleaner down the bore and wipe the pan etc. down. It works well, as one time I didn't get a chance for a through water cleaning for a few days and bore was still clean and free of rust.

Same here. I got a bottle of this junk with some other junk I bought. It didn’t work and went in the trash. It seems like the old simple ways of doing things are usually best.
The Hoppes is good. I like it to soak the nipple in while clean the rifle. I ran out so tried this stuff. Maybe it’s ok for a patch lube.
Good patch lube, too.
Good old Hoppes! I still use the #9 on my smokeless britch-loaders.Good ol' water , but before I leave the range and while the bore is still warm I run a few wet/dry patches of Hoppe's 9 Black Powder cleaner down the bore and wipe the pan etc. down.

I haven’t tried their blackpowder solvent, though. How is it different from #9? Does it smell similar?
The main ingredient in #9 is kerosene, although you might not know it from the aroma.

Moose Milk works great, cheap too
Actually the Hoppes BP cleaner is quite good. Just not as cheap as water.

Haven't found a birchwood casey product I didn't like so far and there not expensive.

At my work, the old owner was meandering about with a crowbar. I asked him if he was going to pry open his wallet and give us a raise……
I'll try it as a patch lube. Maybe it's good for something. Smells nice.
