Title: Patch lube again
Post by: billd on September 19, 2008, 12:40:56 AM

I'm reading a lot of people are using grease like olive oil, beewax, lard, crisco, etc.  What  are you using to clean your barrel with after shooting?  Plain water will dissolve the powder residue, but what about the grease and wax left behind?
Thanks,
Bill

Well now Bill I would suspect that this is why many shooters use hot soapy 'wassa'! ;D
