i just got back into shooting rb again. i use bore butter patchs in summer and i like hoppes blackpowder lube in winter but dont shoot much in winter.i like bore butter in bore also in summer. makes pushing ball in easier.
moosemilk... I've tried about everything else though. Moosemilk has produced good results and is inexpensive to make.

Hoppes #9 BP Plus and T/C-13 are very similar solvents/cleaners.... notmainly lubricants-first. They are multi-purpose "cleaners"& can be used in a few different ways like patch lubes. But so can plain ol' spit!

Not exactly....It is mainly bees wax....But it also has a "softener"...Which is petroleum based....I had never even questioned for many years, but after discussions like this on another site (I think)...I did a little research and even called SnoSeal...Now they wouldn't tell me what percentage petroleum it was, but I figured if I hadn't had any problems with gumming, etc for 20 some years that I wasn't going to worry about....At some of the shoots that I used to attend, guys were actually using wheel bearing grease...I didn't want to go that route as I was a mechanic for years and knew something out there must work that isn't so "greasy"...
What patche lube do you use?
