Petroleum oils are indeed "natural"... however though I haven't run into any issues with my guns personally, I can say this... most petroleum products are more difficult to clean over vegetable...

Can I tumble lube with no lube grooves?? :p Ok... kidding... quite a succinct treatise. Thank you. I even have a gun called a recluse... :D I'm of the opinion that you get questions like this from...

I've gotten into a debate about this and would like your opinions. My cast lead bullets have so far, never remained within any animal I've ever shot with cast bullets... well except a large pig where...

Any leading I've ever experienced was actually solved with a gas check... :D

What are your ball sizes and are barrels similar?

A .495 ball will fit tighter than .490, and .535 will be tighter than .530.

So, if your one ball has clearence for your patch in one bore, you...

I have a .357/9mm Sam Yang Recluse that I cast both round balls and two... one 105 grain and one 125 grain Lee 9mm pistol molds... and they are very accurate for me... (open sights) and have proven...

Can anyone tell me if they've tried a lanolin/alcohol (case lube) for a patch lube?

Thank you :D

Me too... in everything but my flintlock... :D

Being I'm not all that familiar with them Thompsons all that much... :D I can't tell you why that wasn't thought of ... or maybe was and unsuccessful... that part I don't know... but that isn't all...

That clearly depends upon the barrel... doesn't it? My guns could be engraved to seal with a .457 bullet easily.. but I've not the patience for that , do .452 sizing and an over powder card wad... :D...

I agree... but it appears you missed the gist of the question... :D

Much Aloha,

Tom

No Adventure.... :D

Should be fine, I prefer soluble oil and water ratio of 1:7 works good as does my over powder wad formula of 50/50 beeswax and Crisco and a dollop of lanolin .

In my OPINION, it doesn't matter, but find square or rectangular and cut at the muzzle easier to work with . :D

I do not leave any muzzleloader loaded overnight if it has been shot, which in my case they always would be... :D

Thank you all... I've actually learned a lot from this thread... and therefore glad that I own a White muzzleloader as an inline... :D

Much Aloha,

I've actually used and use NAPA water soluble oil and I've also for several years used Ballistol... both work well.. soluble oil last longer on the patch than does Ballistol, but if you're going to...

This was an inline and the breech was locked and unable to be opened as the latch or something had failed.... therefore... :D

So I'm curious... if that happened with a copper jacketed sabot... how...

An Encore from Thompson Center... :D

This was on an encore action that had locked up with a LEAD bullet stuck in the barrel... which we were able to remove with a worm/jag... However, the question posed to me last night during the...

Question... How would you remove a copper clad muzzleloader bullet in a sabot if you had to pull the bullet?

Thank you!

Much Aloha,

I've finally found a method that seems to work best for me at the moment... tumble coat followed by rolling them over an aluminum mosquito screen stand up with tweezers or not... they both seem to...

In my opinion, you should always invest in the sizer of the your bullets optimum diameter if available. As far as out of round goes, one of my most accurate 50 caliber muzzleloader molds is out of...

So for my pistols and .223 I was trying to find a powder that would span 44, 45 acp, and .223. Unique seems to do this, but is really difficult to get here. I saw some Universal Powder today and...

what is the difference between the airgun and powder burner caliber sizings? I mean, if you're using a barrel with a particular groove diameter and a bullet that needs sizing wouldn't either work in...
