patch lube

Back when I shot BP I used CVA cleaning solvent as a patch lube, it was very thin, pink liquid. I got best accuracy with it. I cut strips from Walmart pillow ticking(016"thick) not the thin stuff. .490 cast ball, cut at the muzzle. This was the most accurate combination.
When hunting the reload I carried was a precut patch lubed with Crisco, not as accurate but a lot easier to load.
 
I bought a bottle of Mr Flintlock's patch lobe and it is working very well. I shot 10 shots without having to wipe the bore and they were all accurate.

I also finally got a bottle of Ballistol oil and made moose milk, the results were the about the same as with Mr Flintlock's.
