Bear grease, mink oil, NeetsFoot oil, crisco oil or shortening for hunting, while spit, water, water/alcohol, water/alcohol/oil for target shooting only. These along with SPG, SPG/NF oil, Lyman's BP Gold and NF oil - all the same - never have had trouble shooting over 50 shots without wiping.
That ability is all in the patch/ball combination as long as the lube is as good as any of the above and straight water isn't much of a lube.
What I've found matters the most, is the thickness of the patch and size of ball - as long as there is compression in the bottom of the grooves, it has nothing to do with the lube at all, for any of us. All lubes I've tried shot cleanly & loading was identical from the 1st. to the 50th.
Just how Johnson's would work, I don't know. I do know that the additon of parafin was less than stellar in my ctg. guns. BW was immensely better.
