The internet equivalent of this sticky is a web page. I printed the page to PDF (with Cutepdf.com free software) and place it on myweb site, here:

http://www.the-gleasons.com/Lube%20and%20Cleaner%20Recipes.pdf

so you can bookmark this and it won't go away in 1 year like the forum. Hope that helps. Chap Gleason Va

Great idea, Chap! I was wondering how we were going to do that. Thanks.

As long as Cayugad doesn't mind that I posted it, which I don't think he would (if you want this removed just let me know Cayugad). I hope the PDF is not copyright infringement for www.hunting.net(let me know moderator if you think so). It was not my intent to do that, I was just trying to do the ministry of helps/encouragement.

RE: Lube and cleaner recipes
 

Alsagr, do you use equal parts of each?

http://www.hochmoulds.com/ the Emmert's lube on that page should be a decent BP bullet lube.

Alsagr said: "For cleaning between shots and final gun cleaning at home nothing beats plain old Windex with vinegar....It eats black powder....Sometimes you can see it fizz...After cleaning the bore with Windex and vinegar run an oily patch throughit."

Alsagr (or anybody else that knows the answer to this question); like Garminator, I'm curious, are you referring to a "home brew" mixture of Windex and regular old kitchen vinegar? Or are you referring to the Windex that has the brand name "Windex With Vinegar"?

If you're talkin about a home brew, what % is Windex, and what % is kitchen vinegar? Thanks.

RE: Lube and cleaner recipes
 

After reading that post again, I think he's talking about the Windex with vinegar added already. I might try some.

RE: Lube and cleaner recipes
 

Ok.
Bought some of the windex with vinegar and am going to use it tomorrow at the range.

Cayugad, I found a supply of castor oil at a pharmacy here and bought 12 bottles (2 oz). Raised eyebrows at the checkout.:D
I have made 4 batches of the hard lube and poured them into foil mini loaf pans from the grocery store. They are stored in the beer fridge in the garage for future use. One batch of the hard lube fills the mini loaf pan just right.
Have you used this lube to pan lube?
I have a little hotplate in the garage and am going to melt it down to try it.

RE: Lube and cleaner recipes
 

Yes I have pan lubed them with that hard lube. I lined up my conicals and poured the melted lube in until it reached the bottom of the first band on the conical. I just left them sit out as the lube will harden back just fine. Then I picked them up and pushed them through a speed loader tube.

I can't say I was crazy about the mess it makes doing all this. So now I just have an Altoids tin in my possible bag filled with lube. I finger dad out as much as I need and roll the conical in the joint of the finger working it around into the bands. Then just load the thing. Works for me.

Hope you like the lube. When I bought six bottles of the stuff at a Wal mart they seemed kind of curious about what I needed it for. So I told them I drink a little of it every day... smiled and walked off, leaving them with their eyes bugged out.
