RE: synthetic oil as patch lube
if syn oil can work good as patch lube, my gosh, you can buy 5 quarts at wal-mart for 16 dollars in jug.
this could be better than moosemilk things and also protect your bore more than the homemade liquids used.
you could dunk your pillow ticks in it, wring it out and let dry.then cut at barrel.
same with patch.
