T/C bore butter works OK. I use MelFry cooking oil. Works as well and you can buy it by
the quart or the gallon sizes. It don't go rancid and is good for lubing after cleaning.
I just rub it into the patch material until it saturates it. I don't think it is any messier than dipping patches in a melted lube and your hands smell fairly nice...certainly better than old engine grease leaves them smelling....

I used bore butter on a big bag of patches 30 years ago. Put them in a zip bag and still using them. I don't shoot the side lock much anymore but I have patches ? lol
Am I correct that T/C Bore Butter is mostly coconut oil?

Just because a handful of people on the Internet share an opinion doesn't prove it is correct.
