Using TOTW Mink Oil?

[Art Caputo]

I’ve been using TOTW Mink Oil almost exclusively for decades. A tin of it lasts a loooong time so it’s convenient, and cost does not enter in as a consideration. For casual/target/range shooting I’ll just smear one side of a patch(s) with my thumb. Accuracy is maintained with no swabbing for 8-20+ shots depending on the particular rifle/load. For hunting I use a “loosely” fitted, and well sealed loading block…..also, ball with patch lubed on one side. It makes for a fast reload if required, and works very well over a wide range of temperatures.

My mink was squeaking something fierce until I rubbed him down with mink oil. Now he is too slippery to catch ….

Until it gets below 32* F , that's were mink oil really shines.

I’ll be indoors with a nice warm fire when it gets that cold!

How did putting grease on a piece of rag get so complicated?

Anybody know the actual percentage of mink oil in this lube? I trap and have skinned a few mink and they have almost NO fat on them. I'm guessing it's mostly tallow with just enough mink in it to call it that.

At the range the patched is lubed just prior to loading. For hunting i carry five lubed patches and balls in a piece of capped PVC pipe.

If we didn’t have DRAMA!! What good would life be?

do you rub the patch north to south or east to west???

I think the wax on/wax off method is best. The circular motion helps put spin on the bullet!

 

[Billy Boy]

For those of you who use it, do you lube up a bunch of patches before heading to the range/outdoors, or just lube one at a time as you shoot? I'm sure either way is fine but, was just wondering what y'all like to do?

One in the pipe, three in the loading block, all lubed.

You haven’t been in ml long have you boy
Strike a light, pour a cup of coffee, bevel up bevel down, blow down the barrel, swab once a shooting section or every shot, bare ball in a smoothie, PRB in a smoothie, saying smoothie, shoot we can write a hundred replies on how to pepper your eggs, or should oat meal have milk butter or both

Not if you have a left sided lock. Always counter clockwise. It is the right way to lube yer patches.

I almost always lube up 20-30 patches of TOTW mink oil the night before I go shooting. Just one less step while I’m at the range.

Easy stuff here.

Pillow ticking precut.

Lube 100 or so with TOTW Mink Oil. Lube fairly heavy.

Place in a plastic jar/container with a sealed lid for storage and put 25 or so in a small plastic canister with a cap to take to the woods.

Works for me.

Accepted doctrine in the northern hemisphere is rub the patch lube in right to left. It is the reverse in the southern hemisphere. Rudyard will back me up on this……
