moosemilk... I've tried about everything else though. Moosemilk has produced good results and is inexpensive to make.

I'll let you know in a couple of months. Gonna' tinker with Hoppes/TC-13 types, moosemilk, Permatex & pre-treated bore-butter cotton smoothies.

Since the Hoppes lube is a blackpowder solvent to would it work to use TC #13 bore cleaner?

RE: What patche lube do you use?
 

Hoppes #9 BP Plus and T/C-13 are very similar solvents/cleaners.... notmainly lubricants-first. They are multi-purpose "cleaners"& can be used in a few different ways like patch lubes. But so can plain ol' spit!

Sharp...I've used SnoSeal since the mid 70s...I know its not PC but it works for me...

nchawkeye, I think Snowseal is pc because it is beeswax. They have used that as lube forever.

RE: What patche lube do you use?
 

Not exactly....It is mainly bees wax....But it also has a "softener"...Which is petroleum based....I had never even questioned for many years, but after discussions like this on another site (I think)...I did a little research and even called SnoSeal...Now they wouldn't tell me what percentage petroleum it was, but I figured if I hadn't had any problems with gumming, etc for 20 some years that I wasn't going to worry about....At some of the shoots that I used to attend, guys were actually using wheel bearing grease...I didn't want to go that route as I was a mechanic for years and knew something out there must work that isn't so "greasy"...
