I have heard of shooters using all kinds of stuff for patch lube when shooting round ball in their muzzleloaders.
What have you used? Both what worked and what didn't?
Also, how much lube and how do you apply it?
I have used bore butter by gently melting it and dipping pre-cut patches in it. I have used Track of the Wolf "mink oil", by rubbing it into the patches by hand. So far these seem to work about the same. I have "moose milk" mixed up and ready but have not tried it on patches yet.
