Screamin, over the years I tried probably a dozen different patch lubes - some commercial and some home made. After a while I settled on olive oil as being as good as any and better than most. And as Cayugad said, the price is right.

Then a few years ago I bought a used and abused Remington 700ML with a badly frozen breech plug. I used Liquid Wrench to get it free.

The rest of the story is a Little weird. See it here: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/blac...rro-world.html

Since then I've tried it in every one of my round ball guns, a .32, two 54s, and a .58, with excellent results. I grab a stack of a dozen or two patches, squirt on some LW, and massage the stack with my fingers to get the LW evenly spread throughout. Then I wrap the entire stack in a paper towel and squeeze/massage the package so the towel takes up as much excess oil as possible. The patches feel almost dry and are very pleasant to handle.

As Cayugad said, he tried it as wasn't impressed. I think Bronko tried it also with mixed results. Someone else here tried it and liked it a lot - I don't recall who that was. Anyway, I'm a confirmed LW guy at this point.
