Huntin' Dawg - This isn't a direct answer to your question, but just an observation based on personal experience... Anything greasy, like crisco or most of the various patch lubes, are too light to do the job well. If you lube with crisco, then fire one shot, stop, and look at the end of the cylinder, you'll probably see that much of the lube has migrated all over the forward end of the pistol, and it gets a little worse with each shot. Since the lube is there to lubricate, keep the fouling soft for follow-up shots, and (in some's opinion) seal the cylinder, it has to stay there to do its job. I shot with crisco for years, but found that something stiffer works MUCH better - I currently use a 50/50 mix (by volume) of beeswax and olive oil; it stays in the cylinders under the heat and pressure of preceeding shots, and does an excellent job of keeping the fouling soft enough for several cylinders of shooting before cleaning (though I usually do clean between each cylinder... but sometimes I get lazy!) I'm not saying these other lubes don't work at all, but in my experience (at least in my own little world :grin: ) stiffer lubes are better choices...
