Default New patch lube?

I was doin something i shouldnt have been doin... I was thinking

What about Birchwood Casey Barricade as a patch lube? I cut some .018 pillow ticking into squares and put them into my patch canister and gave them each a good spray down until white foam starts to build up. Got them all lubed up so tomorrow i will see how they shoot with 90gr APP 2F @ 75 yards.

Always worth a shot to see how it does.

I will be interested to read your range report. I would think a Sheath/Barricade patch lube would get expensive. But it might also hold up really well in warm weather or in hot barrels where Crisco, etc., would break down.

I am not sure how the powder will react to that barrel. It should be interesting.

At last count there was 106,548,973 different combinations of patch lube...

All work for some, some work for all...
