After following the Extreme Lube thread all the way to its sputtering out, I'm now thinking about lubes for a black powder rifle in .54, with a twist best suited for PRB.
I'm not crazy about making lubes with Crisco or animal fats and stuff that starts smelling after a few months' exposure to air, notwithstanding their "authentic" period-correct attributes.
So I'm wondering if anyone here has ventured along to use SL-68 or any of its variants, or Ben's Red, or something else newer and tried and true for ca'atridge guns in BP rifles?????
I remember some posts about anything including ALOX as being fouling-generating poison for smokepoles, but my Google-fu on this site is a bit weak. Too many "results" that really don't discuss my search terms...
Experiences are king, ya know.
Thanks!
