Lubing you patching material question

<< < (2/2)

mgbruch:
I cut square patches, rub them real good with mink oil, and put them in my shooting bag.  I don't cut the patch; just push everything down and seat the ball good.

Works.

smylee grouch:
I like to saturate the patch clear through and alternate a dry one between two saturated ones. I have a good supply of bear oil that I sometimes mix with Tracks mink oil.

Daryl:
I use pre-cuts, saturated with lube and store them in tin, brass or G silver snuff, tobacco and/or fire/starting boxes, some from Sucrets & hard candy conveyors, some from Trackofthewolf dot com.

Marcruger:
I use a small tin and lube with Mr Flintlock, per our late Mad Monk's advice.  The Hoppe's BlackPowder lube and cleaner is also a great and slippery lube.  Just remember to final clean with Mr Flintlock to remove all graphite.  God Bless,  Marc
