I'll look for some on the next trip to the city.. Even if it is not a good patch lube I can still use it around here after working in the shop...

I had such a good day shooting the Green Mountain .58 caliber the other day, I took it out again today. I wanted to shoot again at 100 yards and see if the other day was just a good day. Well I held a 3" group with the first four shots. Then on the second set I held a little more then a 3" group. On the third set, (I had this rifle figured out by then) I held just under a 3" group. Then I decided to start shooting objects, so we put out some soda pop cans and picked them off at 100 yards. I am ready for deer season with this big boy.

110 grains of Goex 2f and a wonder wad, with a moosemilk patched .570 Hornady roundball... I hold a 6 o'clock hold at 100 yards and they hit 1 inch above the front sight...
