Lube is going to help prevent the barrel from leading and will also reduce fouling.
I know coon fat works having coon dogs for 30+ yrs and I still trap I have skinned (A FEW) and after one hide your hands shur get soft !Post 25 Is the modified Buck Emmetts lube I’m going to try. If the lanolin I ordered ever shows up! Wonder if render raccoon fat would work? Since their related to bears! LOL
Thanks Boomeup! "1 lb of Beeswax, 12.5 oz Crisco 1.5 oz Lanolin 1.5 oz Olive Oil." So in this case I would use bear fat in place of the crisco yes?
Would this be good for both bullet lube and wad lube?
Thanks in advance for all the help!
I can attest to the fact properly rendered bear fat (NO MEAT) has no Oder for at least 4-5 yrs ! The last bear I shot with my stik bow so my oil is that old in the basement on a shelf ,and you could use it for baking but the wife dosen"t buy it (WHY it"s in the basement) EdThanks for the additional information. I'm 95% ready to start mixing with one (maybe) remaining question. What will the mixture of bear fat (rendered), lanolin and beeswax smell like without being refrigerated, ie. does it rot due to the bear fat? Does the beeswax and lanolin "preserve" the bear fat? Many olfactory thanks

@Idaholewis just curious mate, have you ever dabbled in copper casting? If so how have you found them to cast and perform?
