Title: Lube Cookies
Post by: canadianml1 on March 06, 2025, 11:56:30 PM

Has anyone tried the use of lube cookies in order to keep fouling soft in a ML? What I suggest might help is to use BPRC lube and cut lube cookies out just as you would for a BP cartridge. This would be placed on top of a thin over the powder card.

I used a lube "cookie" as you describe when shooting my long range rifle and 535 gr P.P.bullets.  I really don't see the need if using a patched round ball.

the patch can hold a lot of lube if you use a grease/tallow

Those and any water based lube as well, for target shooting. I used grease cookies with PP bullets in long range match rifle
but never in a ML. No need. The PP bullets had no lube, thus needed the cookies, for shooting without wiping when using paper
patched bullet.
With a muzzleloader, when you load the next one, you wipe down the prior shot. The fouling is already moist due to the lube on the previous patch.
