Default Patch lube success!

I tried those .018 patches today that i soaked in Birchwood Casey Barricade. Awesome! I over lubed them big time but when i got them back they were dry but you could feel the lube embedded into them. Check these out though! Ive never seen patches come back so clean.

70gr APP 2f - .490 Round Ball. These 3 shots grouped 2" @ 75 yards.

Wow! That looks fine. I've about given up playing with patch lubes and have settled on straight olive oil. But I may have to give that a try.
