Hey Brian - minnies and other bullets will work well with 60% Beeswax/40% Vaseline. Yeah, I know Vaseline is a petrolium product and shouldn't work, but it does - just as well as SPG and Lyman's Black Powder Gold, also excellent bullet lubes. I use goo pure beeswax - from a bee keeper - not melted down beeswax candles which contain a high percentabe of paraffin. For me, that which doesn't work well.
: For RB patches, Hoppe's#9 PLUS seems to work as well as LHV for us - never have to wipe, clean shooting no matter the humidity and accurate - high or lower temps. I don't know how it'll work in the freezing temps- hopefully, my LHV will last through another year or more. I'm using it sparingly and trying for loads that work with spit during warm weather.
: One thing I've found, is it takes a different powder charge to shoot any other lube than what works well with spit. None of the rifles nor barrels I've tested shoot the same powder charge accurately with both spit and oil or grease lubes. for example- .40 shoots well with 55gr. 2f and patched RB with spit on the patch. To shoot 2F well with LHV it needs 70gr. With 3F, it's 50gr. with spit and 65gr. with LHV. The .45 likes 70gr. 3F or 80gr. 2F with LHV, but shoots spit with 55gr. and 60gr. Of course, this is due to the lubricity of the oil-type lubes compared to sticky spit. It is amazing that spit works so well - and it does.
