Default RE: duplex loads in flintlocks



I assumed you were talking about different sized shot in one shotgun load. Nice range report.
When I talk about a load, I refer to the powder, cap, ball, patch, etc. It beats listing all the stuff again.


What is moosemilk lube?
Moosemilk is a mix for patches.

Liquid Lube - Moose Milk[/b]
[/b]
[/b]
8 ounces of isopropyl alcohol
3 ounces of Castor Oil
4 ounces of Witch Hazel
16 ounces of tap water
1 ounce of Murphy’s Oil Soap

(make sure you mix the ingredients in the exact order they are listed)

I buy a yard of material of 100% cotton blue strip pillow tick at the local wal mart. I wash that in the washing machine. I then line dry the material. After that you can tear the strip real easy off that bolt of material. I like to tear off an inch and a half. Then you soak that strip in moose milk. Ring the excess moose milk out. Then I lay that on an old window screen in the sun and let it dry. This is a dry patch . If you like a more wet patch, you can spritz them with a spritzer bottle.

This was from a person named Stumpkiller on a different forum. It really is a good lube for patched roundball.

What is a ball-et?
A ball-et is made by Buffalo Bullet Company. It is half roundball and half conicals. They are a good little hunting projetile.
