Default well, luck is on my side tonight

I order some wonder lube in liquid form from TOW,

mixed it with crisco to make an little stiffer. (5Tlbs spoons each). let it set in my little crock pot for 10 mins. poured in to an container to let cool and dip some conicals in.

looks just like bore butter.



boolits coated in it

ones in the pic, while it was an liquid still hot. since then i have cleaned the noise and base of the boolits.

i was shocked on how well they turned out after they cooled.

those i gave to an friend of mine to try in his tc hawken 50cal.

Beeswax is a good idea when it gets hot. The lube that comes on TC maxiballs is pretty stiff.
