Who's got the best lube?

The propensity of muzzle loaders to cook up lube concoctions will no doubt lead to the "personal intimate lubrication" dep't.!

There are easily dozens of "lubes" from bear oil down to plain water that will work very well or to some degree or another. I don't hunt any longer so really don't have a need for the TOW mink oil I like so much. But I really like Hoppes BP Lube and have used it extensively for years. Today it is still all I use and I have no real interest in trying to find a better one. I think that says it all.

I will look for it! thx

Spit patch is as good as anything available for a patch lube. Trouble is it evaporates too quickly and is pretty much dried up at its source a we age.

Spit with a bit of Copenhagen juice mixed in for me. Been working for me for years.

I have a lube that cannot be duplicated. Last year my Wife insisted I get rid of outdated stuff. Along with some Bees wax and paraffin I melted vegetable oils, olive oils, Crisco, neosporin, mineral oil, diaper rash cream etc. I think there may even be a dab of Preparation H in it. I tried to avoid anything with petroleum in it but you can almost bet that there is a little in the mix.It appears to be working. And it's good and greasy.

33 years using it ...no complaints ... always wanted to try bear grease though . Just sounds cool.

Spit for targets, Track mink oil for hunting. No swabbing between shots necessary.

I got some lanolin that I’ve been wanting to try. I haven’t heard anyone talking about it, so it’s probably like orange wine and is awful.
