Unfortunately, I have been mired in a mile long to do list this Summer and haven't been able to shoot much. However, I haven't had to wipe once between shots using bear lube. Specifically, the stuff Smiley Grouch gave me. Yesterday, 15 shots without wiping. Labor Day weekend Rendezvous' trailwalk 22 shots
without wiping. I have tried Mr. Flintlocks lube and have had similar experience.

Good luck, SmyleeG.
Leave some for seed stock.
Good ball/patch combos need no wiping.

I bought some bear oil a long time ago from someone on this forum.  It is in my freezer, and my wife keeps trying to throw it out.  I guess I need to actually try it.

I'd like to hear the results of your hunt.  I am interested in a bear hunt once I retire in a year and a half.  It's on my bucket list.
