Patch lubes
In my search for a lube that will shoot in the same point of impact clean or dirty, I have tried many lubes. Most don't shoot any where close from the first to second shot in my .73 carbine rifle.
I have shot some really good groups with dry oiled patches at 100 yds, but the first shot, on a clean barrel will blow holes or tear the patches.....second and third shots are fine.[:@]
I have tried many of the home-made lubes with Bees Wax and......ATF, Neetsfoot, Crisco, Sno-seal, and a couple of others, most are too slippery.
Too slippery is bad, makes the balls splatter.[causes fliers] imo
Anyway, I had tried Moose Milk as a wet patch lube with poor results, but I just pust some on .015 pillow ticking and let it dry.............first shot clean barrel........torn patch, but a good hit.
Lubed up a small pc of canvas..................sun dried and a little help from a fan.
First and second shot are nearly in the same hole at 75 yds............I have more material drying.................
The first shot patch on a clean bore is one of the best looking patches that have come out of the 73 cal tube.
More info coming.....soon.
