That's why I like the bees wax, castor oil and Murphy's Oil Soap recipe...

The guy over at Traditional Muzzleloading that developed that recipe decided to use the castor oil because he races mini airplanes and they put castor oil in the gas to lubricate the engine...After a race he was cleaning the plane and realized that the soot from the exhaust on the side of the plane was greasy...He figured if castor oil could with stand the high heat of a 2-stroke motor it should also help protect the patch in his flintlock...

What I did was make up 10-12 patches, trying 5 different lubes...Then I went to the range and tried each with a hunting powder charge...I saw different group sizes and point of impact change with different lubes...
